“Yet for Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

Psalms 44:22

Save as image

Study note

Psalm 44 is a community lament, written when Israel has suffered defeat even though it has not turned from God. The people recount past victories and then ask why the Lord has rejected them.
