Psalms 44:19

Compare all

17 ^aAll this has come upon us;
But we have not forgotten You,
Nor have we dealt falsely with Your covenant.

18 Our heart has not turned back,
^aNor have our steps departed from Your way;

19 But You have severely broken us in ^athe place of jackals,
And covered us ^bwith the shadow of death.

20 If we had forgotten the name of our God,
Or ^astretched out our hands to a foreign god,

21 ^aWould not God search this out?
For He knows the secrets of the heart.

Psalms 44:19

Thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons - Thou hast delivered us into the hands of a fierce, cruel, and murderous people. We, as a people, are in a similar state to one who has strayed into a wilderness, where there are no human inhabitants; who hears nothing round about him but the hissing of serpents, the howling of beasts of prey, and the terrible roaring of the lion; and who expects every moment to be devoured.
