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

For our soul is bowed down to the dust,.... Which may signify great declension in spiritual things, much dejection of mind, and little exercise of grace, Psalms 119:25; or a very low estate in temporals; subjection to their enemies; they setting their feet upon their necks, and obliging them to lick the dust of them: and even it may signify nearness to death itself; see Joshua 10:24;

our belly cleaveth to the earth; as persons that lie prostrate, being conquered and suppliants.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For our soul is bowed down to the dust - That is, We are overborne with calamity, so that we sink to the earth. The expression is one that denotes great affliction.

Our belly cleaveth unto the earth - We are like animals that are prone upon the earth, and that cannot rise. The allusion may be to reptiles that cannot stand erect. The figure is intended to denote great prostration and affliction.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 44:25. Our soul is bowed down — Our life is drawing near to the grave. If thou delay to help us, we shall become extinct.
