  神 岂 不 鉴 察 这 事 麽 ? 因 为 他 晓 得 人 心 里 的 隐 秘 。

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

Shall not God search this out?.... Undoubtedly he would, was it so, and expose it, and punish for it; as he will the Balaamites and children of Jezebel, Revelation 2:18; this seems to be an appeal to God for the truth of all that the church had said concerning her steadfastness and integrity under the most trying exercises;

for he knoweth the secrets of the heart; whether the heart is turned back, or there is any inclination to apostatize from God, or his name is forgotten in it; as well as whether in fact the hand has been stretched out, or prayer made to a strange god, Jeremiah 17:9.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Shall not God search this out? - That is, If this had been the case, it would be known to God. If, as a nation, we had been given to idolatry, or if our hearts had been secretly alienated from the true God, though there had been no open manifestation of apostasy, yet that could not have been concealed from him. The question here asked implies a solemn declaration on the part of the psalmist that this was not so; or that there was no such national apostasy from God, and no such prevalence of idolatry in the land as to account for what had occurred. The reason for the calamities which had come upon them, therefore, must be found in something else.

For he knoweth the secrets of the heart - What is in the heart: what is concealed from the world. If there were any such alienation from him in the hearts of the people, he would know it. The fact that God knows the heart, or that he understands all the secret thoughts, purposes, and motives of people, is one that is everywhere affirmed in the Scriptures. See 1 Chronicles 28:9; Romans 8:27; compare the notes at Revelation 2:23.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 44:21. Shall not God search this out? — We confidently appeal to the true God, the searcher of hearts, for the truth of this statement.
