Contextual Overview

17 All these things have happened to us, but we have not forgotten you or failed to keep our agreement with you. 18 Our hearts haven't turned away from you, and we haven't stopped following you. 19 But you crushed us in this place where wild dogs live, and you covered us with deep darkness. 20 If we had forgotten our God or lifted our hands in prayer to foreign gods, 21 God would have known, because he knows what is in our hearts. 22 But for you we are in danger of death all the time. People think we are worth no more than sheep to be killed. 23 Wake up, Lord! Why are you sleeping? Get up! Don't reject us forever. 24 Why do you hide from us? Have you forgotten our pain and troubles? 25 We have been pushed down into the dirt; we are flat on the ground. 26 Get up and help us. Because of your love, save us.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Our heart is not turned back,.... To its original hardness, blindness, and bondage, to its former sin and folly, to cherish, gratify, and fulfil its lusts and desires; not from God, from love to him, faith in him, and desires after him; nor from his worship and service; their trials had no such influence upon them as to cause them to apostatize from God, neither in heart, nor in action;

neither have our steps declined from thy way; from the way of his commandments, from the paths of holiness, truth, and faith, being directed and guided therein by the counsel of the Lord, and kept and preserved by his power.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Our heart is not turned back - That is, We have not turned away from thy service; we have not apostatized from thee; we have not fallen into idolatry. This must mean that such was not at that time the characteristic of the nation; it was not a prominent thing among the people; there was no such general and pervading iniquity as to explain the fact that these calamities had come upon them, or to be properly the cause of these troubles.

Neither have our steps declined from thy way - Margin, goings. The idea as expressed by our translators is, that the people had not departed from the path prescribed by God; that is, from what he required in his law. The Septuagint and the Vulgate render it, “Thou hast turned our steps from thy way;” that is, though our heart is not turned back, and we have not revolted from thee, yet thou hast turned our steps from thy way, or hast turned us from the way of thy favor and from prosperity. The rendering in the common version, however, is more in conformity with the idea in the original.
