Psalms 44:5 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Push down. — The image of the original is lost here, the LXX. have retained it. It is that of a buffalo or other horned animal driving back and goring its enemies. Deuteronomy 33:17 applies it as a special description of the tribe of Joseph. The figure is continued in the next clause; the infuriated animal tramples its victim under foot.

Psalms 44:5

5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
