Psalms 44:9-10

But thou hast cast us off Now thy countenance and course are quite changed to us; and hast put us to shame Hast made us ashamed of our boasting and trust in thee, which we have often professed to the face of our enemies. And goest not forth with our armies To lead them and fight for them, as this phrase signifies, Judges 4:14; 1 Samuel 8:20. He seems to allude to God's marching with and before the Israelites in the wilderness, and afterward as occasion was offered, Psalms 68:7. Thou makest us to turn back We have lost the courage wherewith thou didst formerly inspire us, and cannot defend our cities and fortresses. For, according to thy threatening, (Leviticus 26:36,) thou hast sent a faintness into our hearts in the land of our enemies. And they which hate us spoil for themselves Plunder our camps, and take our estates, and other property for their own use; and that not with a view to comply with thy will, which was to punish us for our sins, nor for thy service and glory. They mind nothing but their own advantage.
