Contextual Overview
(A special psalm for the people of Korah and for the music leader.)
Our God, our ancestors told us what wonders you worked and we listened carefully. 2 You chased off the nations by causing them trouble with your powerful arm. Then you let our ancestors take over their land. 3 Their strength and weapons were not what won the land and gave them victory! You loved them and fought with your powerful arm and your shining glory. 4 You are my God and King, and you give victory to the people of Jacob. 5 By your great power, we knocked our enemies down and stomped on them. 6 I don't depend on my arrows or my sword to save me. 7 But you saved us from our hateful enemies, and you put them to shame. 8 We boast about you, our God, and we are always grateful.Bible Verse Review

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thou art my King, O God,.... Besides the favours God had done for his people in time past, the church takes notice of her interest in God as her King, who was able to protect and defend her, and to deliver her out of all her distresses, in order the more to strengthen her faith and hope in him; and, claiming her interest in him, she draws nigh to him with an holy boldness, and desires him as a King, that by a word of his (for where the word of a king is, there is power) he would
command deliverances for Jacob; not literally, but mystically understood; the spiritual Jacob, and people of God; all Israelites indeed, in whom there is no guile; meaning herself and members: the blessing desired is "deliverances", or "salvations"; so called, because the, deliverance or salvation the Lord commands grants, and works out for his people, is of different kinds, both spiritual and, temporal, and is a deliverance from various things; from sin, Satan, the present evil world, wrath to come, and all enemies; and out of various temptations and afflictions, and which follow successively one upon another; and at last it is complete and perfect.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Thou art my King, O God - literally, “Thou art He, my King, O God;” that is, Thou art the same: the same King, and the same God, who didst interpose in the time of the fathers, and thou art he whom I recognize as King, as the Sovereign Ruler of thy people. The psalmist here uses the singular number, “my King,” as expressive of his own feelings, though he doubtless means also to speak in the name of the people. It would seem not improbable from this, that the author of the psalm was the reigning monarch in the time of the troubles referred to. If not, it was evidently one who personated him, and who meant to represent his feelings. The language shows the strong confidence of the author of the psalm in God, and perhaps also is designed to express his personal responsibility at the time, and his consciousness that his only refuge in conducting the troubled affairs of the nation was God.
Command deliverances for Jacob - As if all was under His command, and He had only to give direction, and salvation would come. The word “Jacob” here is used to denote the descendants of Jacob, or the people of God. See the notes at Psalms 24:6.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 44:4. Thou art my king — What thou wert to them, be to us. We believe in thee as they did; we have sinned and are in captivity, but we repent and turn unto thee; command, therefore, deliverances to Jacob, for we are the descendants of him in whose behalf thou hast wrought such wonders.
