Historically, Israel often faced periods of divine discipline due to their disobedience and idolatry, as seen in the cycles of the Judges (<a href="/judges/2-11.htm">Judges 2:11-19</a>). The feeling of rejection is a common theme in the Psalms, where the psalmist cries out for God's presence and favor to return (<a href="/psalms/13.htm">Psalm 13:1-2</a>). Theologically, this can be understood as a call to repentance and a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where blessings and curses were contingent upon obedience (Deuteronomy 28). The humbling of Israel can also be seen as a type of Christ, who was humbled and rejected by men (<a href="/isaiah/53-3.htm">Isaiah 53:3</a>), yet through His suffering brought redemption.<p><b>You no longer go forth with our armies.</b><br>In ancient Israel, the presence of God with the army was crucial for victory, as seen in the conquest narratives of Joshua (<a href="/joshua/6-2.htm">Joshua 6:2-5</a>). The Ark of the Covenant, representing God's presence, often accompanied the troops (<a href="/1_samuel/4-3.htm">1 Samuel 4:3-4</a>). The absence of divine support here signifies a withdrawal of God's favor, leading to military defeat. This can be connected to other instances where Israel's sin led to God's departure, such as the defeat at Ai due to Achan's sin (<a href="/joshua/7.htm">Joshua 7:1-5</a>). Theologically, this highlights the importance of reliance on God rather than human strength, a theme echoed in the New Testament where believers are called to put on the full armor of God (<a href="/ephesians/6-10.htm">Ephesians 6:10-18</a>). The ultimate fulfillment of God going forth with His people is seen in Christ, who leads His followers in triumph (<a href="/2_corinthians/2-14.htm">2 Corinthians 2:14</a>).<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.

God has recently dealt with Israel exceptionally - has seemed to "cast them off," has "put them to shame," allowed them to be defeated and despoiled, slain and carried into captivity, made a scorn and a derision, a reproach and a byword. He no longer "goes forth with their armies," to secure them victory over their foes, but holds aloof, and covers them with confusion. The description implies, not a single defeat, but a somewhat prolonged period of depression, during which several "armies" have been beaten, several battles lost, multitudes slain, and great numbers carried away captive (ver. 11). Still, a general captivity, like the Babylonian, is certainly not spoken cf. The nation is as yet unconquered. It needs but a return of God's favour to turn the vanquished into the victors, and to replace shame by boasting. <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 9.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">But thou hast</span> <span class="cmt_word">cast off</span> (comp. <a href="/psalms/43-2.htm">Psalm 43:2</a>) <span class="cmt_word">and put us to shame</span> (see also ver. 16).

Israel has still "armies" at her disposal. It is therefore certainly not the early Maccabean period, nor the time of the expiring monarchy. Her armies have free play, are sent forth, only God does not "go forth" with them (comp. <a href="/psalms/60-10.htm">Psalm 60:10</a>). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/psalms/44-9.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">But</span><br /><span class="heb">אַף־</span> <span class="translit">(’ap̄-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_637.htm">Strong's 637: </a> </span><span class="str2">Meaning accession, yea, adversatively though</span><br /><br /><span class="word">You have rejected</span><br /><span class="heb">זָ֭נַחְתָּ</span> <span class="translit">(zā·naḥ·tā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2186.htm">Strong's 2186: </a> </span><span class="str2">Reject, forsake, fail</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and humbled us;</span><br /><span class="heb">וַתַּכְלִימֵ֑נוּ</span> <span class="translit">(wat·taḵ·lî·mê·nū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Consecutive imperfect - second person masculine singular | first person common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3637.htm">Strong's 3637: </a> </span><span class="str2">To wound, to taunt, insult</span><br /><br /><span class="word">You no longer</span><br /><span class="heb">וְלֹא־</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">go forth</span><br /><span class="heb">תֵ֝צֵ֗א</span> <span class="translit">(ṯê·ṣê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3318.htm">Strong's 3318: </a> </span><span class="str2">To go, bring, out, direct and proxim</span><br /><br /><span class="word">with our armies.</span><br /><span class="heb">בְּצִבְאוֹתֵֽינוּ׃</span> <span class="translit">(bə·ṣiḇ·’ō·w·ṯê·nū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b | Noun - common plural construct | first person common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6635.htm">Strong's 6635: </a> </span><span class="str2">A mass of persons, reg, organized for, war, a campaign</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/psalms/44-9.htm">Psalm 44:9 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/psalms/44-9.htm">Psalm 44:9 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/psalms/44-9.htm">Psalm 44:9 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/psalms/44-9.htm">Psalm 44:9 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/psalms/44-9.htm">Psalm 44:9 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/psalms/44-9.htm">Psalm 44:9 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/psalms/44-9.htm">Psalm 44:9 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/psalms/44-9.htm">Psalm 44:9 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/psalms/44-9.htm">Psalm 44:9 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/psalms/44-9.htm">Psalm 44:9 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/psalms/44-9.htm">OT Poetry: Psalm 44:9 But now you rejected us and brought (Psalm Ps Psa.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/psalms/44-8.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Psalm 44:8"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Psalm 44:8" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/psalms/44-10.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Psalm 44:10"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Psalm 44:10" /></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>
