In the context of the Psalms, it often signifies a plea for divine intervention. The psalmist is urging God to awaken and respond to the plight of His people. This echoes other biblical instances where God is called to "rise" or "awake," such as in <a href="/psalms/3-7.htm">Psalm 3:7</a> and <a href="/psalms/7-6.htm">Psalm 7:6</a>, where the psalmist seeks deliverance from enemies. The imagery suggests a God who is powerful and capable of changing circumstances when He chooses to act.<p><b>be our help!</b><br>The request for help indicates a reliance on God as the ultimate source of aid and deliverance. Throughout the Old Testament, God is frequently depicted as a helper to Israel, providing assistance in times of trouble (e.g., <a href="/exodus/18-4.htm">Exodus 18:4</a>, <a href="/psalms/33-20.htm">Psalm 33:20</a>). This reflects the covenant relationship between God and His people, where God promises to be their protector and provider. The plea for help underscores human dependence on divine strength and guidance.<p><b>Redeem us</b><br>Redemption in the biblical sense involves deliverance from bondage or distress, often with a connotation of a price being paid. In the Old Testament, God is seen as the Redeemer of Israel, having delivered them from slavery in Egypt (<a href="/exodus/6-6.htm">Exodus 6:6</a>). This concept is further developed in the New Testament, where Christ is portrayed as the Redeemer who delivers humanity from sin (<a href="/ephesians/1-7.htm">Ephesians 1:7</a>). The psalmist's cry for redemption is both a request for immediate rescue and a foreshadowing of the ultimate redemption through Jesus Christ.<p><b>on account of Your loving devotion.</b><br>The term "loving devotion" is often translated as "steadfast love" or "mercy" (Hebrew: hesed). It refers to God's covenantal love and faithfulness towards His people. This attribute of God is a recurring theme in the Psalms and throughout Scripture, emphasizing His unwavering commitment to His promises (e.g., <a href="/psalms/136.htm">Psalm 136</a>). The appeal to God's loving devotion highlights the basis for the psalmist's confidence in seeking redemption—not because of their own merit, but because of God's faithful character. This reflects the biblical understanding that God's actions are motivated by His love and covenant loyalty.<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 played a significant role in temple worship.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The nation of God's chosen people, often the subject of the Psalms, expressing communal lament and seeking divine intervention.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure in the Psalm, called upon for help and redemption.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/h/historical_context.htm">Historical Context</a></b><br>The Psalm reflects a time of national distress, possibly during a military defeat or a period of oppression.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/d/dependence_on_god.htm">Dependence on God</a></b><br>The Psalmist's cry for help underscores our need to rely on God in times of distress.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_loving_devotion.htm">God's Loving Devotion</a></b><br>The Hebrew word "chesed" (loving devotion) highlights God's covenantal love, reminding us of His faithfulness.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/redemption_and_deliverance.htm">Redemption and Deliverance</a></b><br>The plea for redemption points to the ultimate redemption found in Jesus Christ, encouraging believers to trust in God's plan.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/prayer_in_times_of_trouble.htm">Prayer in Times of Trouble</a></b><br>This verse models how to approach God with honesty and urgency, seeking His intervention in our lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_lament.htm">Community Lament</a></b><br>Reflects the importance of communal prayer and support, reminding us to bear one another's burdens.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_44.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 44</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/where_to_find_bible_study_guides.htm">What does pleading my cause before the Lord mean?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_would_god_reject_and_defeat_his_people.htm">(Psalm 44:9–10) Why would a supposedly omnipotent and loving God suddenly reject His people and allow them to be defeated in battle? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_is_jesus_conflicted_in_matthew_26_36-46.htm">In Matthew 26:36-46, why does Jesus seem conflicted about His fate if He was fully aware of His divine mission and outcome?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_satan_loved_by_god.htm">Is Satan loved by God?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/44.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 26.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Arise for our help</span>; literally, <span class="accented">arise as a help unto us</span>; <span class="accented">i.e.</span> arise, and come to our aid.
