詩編 44:17

span data-lang="jpn" data-trans="kyb" data-ref="psa.44.1" class="versetxt"> 1 神よ、いにしえ、われらの先祖たちの日に、あなたがなされたみわざを彼らがわれらに語ったのを耳で聞きました。2 すなわちあなたはみ手をもって、もろもろの国民を追い払ってわれらの先祖たちを植え、またもろもろの民を悩まして、われらの先祖たちをふえ広がらせられました。3 彼らは自分のつるぎによって国を獲たのでなく、また自分の腕によって勝利を得たのでもありません。ただあなたの右の手、あなたの腕、あなたのみ顔の光によるのでした。あなたが彼らを恵まれたからです。4 あなたはわが王、わが神、ヤコブのために勝利を定められる方です。5 われらはあなたによって、あだを押し倒し、われらに立ちむかう者を、み名によって踏みにじるのです。6 わたしは自分の弓を頼まず、わたしのつるぎもまた、わたしを救うことができないからです。7 しかしあなたはわれらをあだから救い、われらを憎む者をはずかしめられました。8 われらは常に神によって誇り、とこしえにあなたのみ名に感謝するでしょう。[セラ9 ところがあなたはわれらを捨てて恥を負わせ、われらの軍勢と共に出て行かれませんでした。10 あなたがわれらをあだの前から退かせられたので、われらの敵は心のままにかすめ奪いました。11 あなたはわれらをほふられる羊のようにし、またもろもろの国民のなかに散らされました。12 あなたはわずかの金であなたの民を売り、彼らのために高い価を求められませんでした。13 あなたはわれらを隣り人にそしらせ、われらをめぐる者どもに侮らせ、あざけらせられました。14 またもろもろの国民のなかにわれらを笑い草とし、もろもろの民のなかに笑い者とされました。15 わがはずかしめはひねもすわたしの前にあり、恥はわたしの顔をおおいました。16 これはそしる者と、ののしる者の言葉により、敵と、恨みを報いる者のゆえによるのです。17 これらの事が皆われらに臨みましたが、われらはあなたを忘れず、あなたの契約にそむくことがありませんでした。18 われらの心はたじろがず、またわれらの歩みはあなたの道を離れませんでした。19 それでもあなたは山犬の住む所でわれらを砕き、暗やみをもってわれらをおおわれました。20 われらがもしわれらの神の名を忘れ、ほかの神に手を伸べたことがあったならば、21 神はこれを見あらわされないでしょうか。神は心の秘密をも知っておられるからです。22 ところがわれらはあなたのためにひねもす殺されて、ほふられる羊のようにみなされました。23 主よ、起きてください。なぜ眠っておられるのですか。目をさましてください。われらをとこしえに捨てないでください。24 なぜあなたはみ顔を隠されるのですか。なぜわれらの悩みと、しえたげをお忘れになるのですか。25 まことにわれらの魂はかがんで、ちりに伏し、われらのからだは土につきました。26 起きて、われらをお助けください。あなたのいつくしみのゆえに、われらをあがなってください。

Gill's Notes on the Bible

All this is come upon us,.... Not by chance, but according to the purpose and counsel of God; not for sin, and as a punishment of it, but for Christ's sake and his Gospel; for a profession of faith in him, and for the trial of it;

yet have we not forgotten thee; not the being and perfections of God, on which they often meditated, especially as displayed in the affair of salvation by Jesus Christ; nor the works of God, which were remembered to encourage faith and hope in their present circumstances, Psalms 44:1; nor the benefits and favours bestowed upon them by him; nor his word, worship, and ordinances; their reproach, afflictions, and persecutions, did not move them from the hope of the Gospel, and the service of God;

neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant; by disbelieving their interest in God as their covenant God; by disregarding or not coming to and making use of Christ the Mediator of it; and by calling in question their interest in the blessings and promises of the covenant; for nothing can be more called dealing falsely in or with respect to the covenant of grace than unbelief about it; which remains firm and sure notwithstanding all the afflictions that may come on such who are interested in it: moreover, as this may respect the formal exhibition of the covenant under the Gospel dispensation, by the ministry of the word, and the administration of ordinances, the sense may be, that though the church and her members met with so much reproach and persecution from men, yet did not drop nor deny any of the truths of the Gospel, nor corrupt the ordinances of Christ, nor neglect an attendance on them; but were virgins, pure and incorrupt in doctrine and practice, and followed the Lamb whithersoever he went.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

All this is come upon us - All these calamities. The connecting thought here is, that although all these things had come upon them, yet they could not be traced to their own infidelity or unfaithfulness to God. There was nothing in the national character, there were no circumstances at that time existing, there was no special unfaithfulness among the people, there was no such general forgetfulness of God, and no such general prevalence of idolatry as would account for what had occurred, or as would explain it. The nation was not then more deeply depraved than it had been at other times; but, on the contrary, there was among the people a prevalent regard for God and for his service. It was, therefore, a mystery to the author of the psalm, that these calamities had been suffered to come upon them at that time; it was an event the cause of which he desired to search out, Psalms 44:21.

Yet have we not forgotten thee - As a nation. That is, there was nothing special in the circumstances of the nation at that time which would call down the divine displeasure. We cannot suppose that the psalmist means to claim for the nation entire perfection, but only to affirm that the nation at that time was not characterized by any special forgetfulness of God, or prevalence of wickedness. All that is here said was true at the time when, as I have supposed, the psalm was written - the closing part of the reign of Josiah, or the period immeditely following.

Neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant - We have not been unfaithful to thy covenant; to the covenant which thou didst make with our fathers; to the commandments which thou hast given us. This can only mean that there was no such prevailing departure from the principles of that covenant as could account for this. The psalmist could not connect the existing state of things - the awful and unique discomfitures and calamities which had come upon the nation - with anything special in the character of the people, or in the religious condition of the nation.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 44:17. Yet have we not forgotten thee — These are bold words; but they must be understood in a qualified sense. We have not apostatized from thee, we have not fallen into idolatry. And this was strictly true: the charge of idolatry could never be brought against the Jewish nation from the time of the captivity, with sufficient evidence to support it.
