Contextual Overview

9But now You have rejected us and brought us to dishonor, And You do not go out with our armies [to lead us to victory]. 10You make us turn back from the enemy, And those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves.11You have made us like sheep to be eaten [as mutton] And have scattered us [in exile] among the nations. 12You sell Your people cheaply, And have not increased Your wealth by their sale. 13You have made us the reproach and taunt of our neighbors, A scoffing and a derision to those around us. 14You make us a byword among the nations, A laughingstock among the people. 15My dishonor is before me all day long, And humiliation has covered my face, 16Because of the voice of the taunter and reviler, Because of the presence of the enemy and the avenger.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy,.... In the times of Eli, according to Arama; but may he understood of some of the visible members of the church, and professors of religion, not being valiant for the truth, and deserting the cause of God and Christ, by reason of tribulation and persecution arising because of the word;

and they which hate us spoil for themselves; by seizing on the goods and substance of those they persecuted; enriching themselves by confiscating their estates and possessions to their own use; or by spoiling others of them, they deceived with their corrupt doctrines and soul destroying principles, whereby they became slaves to the antichristian party; this may respect the same wars as before.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy - Instead of giving us the victory. That is, we are defeated.

And they which hate us spoil for themselves - They plunder us; they take our property as spoil, and carry it away. That this was done at the time referred to in the introduction as the time of the composition of the psalm, is apparent from the narrative in the Book of Chronicles. 2 Chronicles 36:7, “Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.” Compare 2 Kings 23:33; 2 Kings 24:13-16; 2 Kings 25:13-17.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 44:10. Thou makest us to turn back — This thou didst: and our enemies, profiting by the occasion, finding our strength was departed from us, made us an easy prey, captivated our persons, and spoiled us of our property.
