In the context of the Psalms, it often refers to the trials faced by Israel, such as military defeat, exile, or divine judgment. Historically, Israel experienced numerous periods of hardship, including the Babylonian exile, which serves as a backdrop for many lament psalms. This phrase underscores the reality of suffering even for those who are in a covenant relationship with God, highlighting the mystery of divine providence and the testing of faith.<p><b>though we have not forgotten You</b><br>The assertion of not forgetting God indicates a maintained faithfulness and remembrance of God's laws and deeds. In the Old Testament, forgetting God often led to idolatry and sin (<a href="/deuteronomy/8-11.htm">Deuteronomy 8:11-14</a>). This phrase suggests a plea of innocence, where the people claim to have remained true to their worship and acknowledgment of God. It reflects a deep sense of confusion and distress, as the people do not understand why they suffer despite their faithfulness.<p><b>or betrayed Your covenant</b><br>The covenant refers to the solemn agreement between God and Israel, established through figures like Abraham, Moses, and David. Betraying the covenant would involve idolatry, disobedience, or moral failure. This phrase emphasizes the people's commitment to uphold their part of the covenant, which included following the Law and worshiping Yahweh alone. Theologically, it raises questions about the nature of suffering and divine justice, as the people assert their innocence. This can be seen as a type of Christ, who also suffered despite being sinless, fulfilling the ultimate covenant through His sacrifice.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_sons_of_korah.htm">The Sons of Korah</a></b><br>The authors of <a href="/bsb/psalms/44.htm">Psalm 44</a>, a group of Levitical singers and musicians who served in the temple.

There are not many periods of Israelite history at which such a description could have been given without manifest untruth, and the time of David is certainly more suitable for it than almost any other. <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 17.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant</span>. Israel had neither put aside the thought of religion, and given herself up to wordliness, nor yet, while still professedly religious, transgressed habitually God's commandments. She maintained "thorough sincerity in religion, and consistent integrity of life." Yet "all this" - all that has been described in vers. 9-16 - had come upon her. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/psalms/44-17.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">All</span><br /><span class="heb">כָּל־</span> <span class="translit">(kāl-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> </span><span class="str2">The whole, all, any, every</span><br /><br /><span class="word">this</span><br /><span class="heb">זֹ֣את</span> <span class="translit">(zōṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Pronoun - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2063.htm">Strong's 2063: </a> </span><span class="str2">Hereby in it, likewise, the one other, same, she, so much, such deed, that, </span><br /><br /><span class="word">has come upon us,</span><br /><span class="heb">בָּ֭אַתְנוּ</span> <span class="translit">(bā·’aṯ·nū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person feminine singular | first person common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_935.htm">Strong's 935: </a> </span><span class="str2">To come in, come, go in, go</span><br /><br /><span class="word">though we have not</span><br /><span class="heb">וְלֹ֣א</span> <span class="translit">(wə·lō)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particle<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> </span><span class="str2">Not, no</span><br /><br /><span class="word">forgotten You</span><br /><span class="heb">שְׁכַחֲנ֑וּךָ</span> <span class="translit">(šə·ḵa·ḥă·nū·ḵā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - first person common plural | second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7911.htm">Strong's 7911: </a> </span><span class="str2">To mislay, to be oblivious of, from want of memory, attention</span><br /><br /><span class="word">or betrayed</span><br /><span class="heb">שִׁ֝קַּ֗רְנוּ</span> <span class="translit">(qar·nū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Piel - Perfect - first person common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8266.htm">Strong's 8266: </a> </span><span class="str2">To do or deal falsely</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Your covenant.</span><br /><span class="heb">בִּבְרִיתֶֽךָ׃</span> <span class="translit">(biḇ·rî·ṯe·ḵā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct | second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1285.htm">Strong's 1285: </a> </span><span class="str2">A covenant</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/psalms/44-17.htm">Psalm 44:17 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/psalms/44-17.htm">Psalm 44:17 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/psalms/44-17.htm">Psalm 44:17 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/psalms/44-17.htm">Psalm 44:17 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/psalms/44-17.htm">Psalm 44:17 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/psalms/44-17.htm">Psalm 44:17 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/psalms/44-17.htm">Psalm 44:17 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/psalms/44-17.htm">Psalm 44:17 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/psalms/44-17.htm">Psalm 44:17 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/psalms/44-17.htm">Psalm 44:17 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/psalms/44-17.htm">OT Poetry: Psalm 44:17 All this has come on us yet (Psalm Ps Psa.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/psalms/44-16.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Psalm 44:16"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Psalm 44:16" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/psalms/44-18.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Psalm 44:18"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Psalm 44:18" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
