Psalm 44:24

24 ¿Por qué escondes tu rostro? ¿Olvidaste nuestra aflicción, y la opresión nuestra?

Psalm 44:24 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:24

Wherefore hidest thou thy face?
&c.] See ( Psalms 10:1 ) ( 12:1 ) ;

[and] forgettest our affliction and our oppression.
Not that the Lord does really forget either the persons of his people, which he cannot, since they are engraven on the palms of his hands, and a book of remembrance is written for them: nor the afflictions of his people; he knows their souls in adversity; he chooses them in the furnace of affliction; he makes all afflictions work together for good, and delivers out of them. But because deliverance is not immediately wrought, and they sometimes continue long under their afflictions and oppressions, they seem to be forgotten by him, as during the ten persecutions and the long reign of antichrist.

Psalm 44:24 In-Context

22 Antes por tu causa nos matan cada día; somos tenidos como ovejas para el degolladero.

23 Despierta; ¿por qué duermes, Señor? Despierta, no nos deseches para siempre.

24 ¿Por qué escondes tu rostro? ¿Olvidaste nuestra aflicción, y la opresión nuestra?

25 Porque nuestra alma se ha agobiado hasta el polvo; nuestro vientre está pegado con la tierra.

26 Levántate para ayudarnos, y redímenos por tu misericordia.
