PSALM 44

COME TO OUR HELP

Giving glory to God, the author attributes Israel’s victories to God. This feeling of pride and glory is quickly replaced with feelings of rejection and abandonment over Israel’s more recent losses. The Israelites were once known as God’s people, but are now embarrassed and feel like the laughingstock of the people. 

The author calls out to God, accusing Him of forgetting or betraying the Israelites. The psalm ends with a plea for help and rescue. 

Psalm 44:8 - In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to your name forever.
