Psalms 44:17 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. Yet have we not forgotten thee - These are bold words; but they must be understood in a qualified sense. We have not apostatized from thee, we have not fallen into idolatry. And this was strictly true: the charge of idolatry could never be brought against the Jewish nation from the time of the captivity, with sufficient evidence to support it.
