Psalms 44:26 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

These are the strong cries of faith: not that the Lord sleepeth, or is an inattentive spectator to the exercises of his redeemed: He seeth and knoweth all. The great Shepherd of Israel neither slumbereth nor sleepeth. Psalms 121:4. Reader, mark it as a certain thing - The enemies of God and his Christ are never nearer destruction, than when they are most confident of success. Two causes secure this; the Lord's honour, and the safety of his people: and both conspire to produce the desired end. Romans 8:28.

Psalms 44:23-26

23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.

24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.

26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
