Jerome's Latin Vulgate (405)
span data-lang="lat" data-trans="jvl" data-ref="psa.44.1" class="versetxt"> In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur. Filiis Core, ad intellectum. Canticum pro dilecto. [Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum:
dico ego opera mea regi.
Lingua mea calamus scrib
velociter scribentis.
Speciosus forma pr filiis hominum,
diffusa est gratia in labiis tuis:
propterea benedixit te Deus in ternum.
Accingere gladio tuo super femur tuum, potentissime.
Specie tua et pulchritudine tua
intende, prospere procede, et regna,
propter veritatem, et mansuetudinem, et justitiam;
et deducet te mirabiliter dextera tua.
Sagitt tu acut:
populi sub te cadent,
in corda inimicorum regis.
Sedes tua, Deus, in sculum sculi;
virga directionis virga regni tui.
Dilexisti justitiam, et odisti iniquitatem;
propterea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus,
oleo ltiti, pr consortibus tuis.
Myrrha, et gutta, et casia a vestimentis tuis,
a domibus eburneis; ex quibus delectaverunt te
fili regum in honore tuo.
Astitit regina a dextris tuis
in vestitu deaurato, circumdata varietate.
Audi, filia, et vide, et inclina aurem tuam;
et obliviscere populum tuum, et domum patris tui.
Et concupiscet rex decorem tuum,
quoniam ipse est Dominus Deus tuus, et adorabunt eum.
Et fili Tyri in muneribus vultum tuum deprecabuntur;
omnes divites plebis.
Omnis gloria ejus fili regis ab intus,
in fimbriis aureis,
circumamicta varietatibus.
Adducentur regi virgines post eam;
proxim ejus afferentur tibi.
Afferentur in ltitia et exsultatione;
adducentur in templum regis.
Pro patribus tuis nati sunt tibi filii;
constitues eos principes super omnem terram.
Memores erunt nominis tui in omni generatione et generationem:
propterea populi confitebuntur tibi in ternum, et in sculum sculi.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long,.... These words are cited by the Apostle Paul in Romans 8:36; and are applied to his times, showing the then close attachment of the saints to Christ, and their strong love and affection for him; and they have the same sense here, being an instance and proof of the church's integrity and faithfulness in the cause of God, amidst the sorest afflictions and persecutions; for the truth of which she appeals to the searcher of hearts; and had their accomplishment in the ten persecutions under the Heathen emperors, and under the Papal tyranny; and may be understood of their being threatened with death, being in danger of it, and exposed unto it continually, 1 Corinthians 15:31; or of their being in such troubles and afflictions, which may be called death, 2 Corinthians 1:8; or of the actual slaying them: and what was done to many of the members of the church she attributes to herself, because of the union between them; and for the sake of the worship of the true God, because they would not worship the gods of the Heathens, nor the image of the beast, multitudes of them were put to death; and that all the day long, and every day, and that for a long series and course of time, or continually; and indeed, ever since the Gospel day or dispensation began, this killing work has been more or less; and it will continue during the reign of antichrist, until the measure of his iniquity is filled up, and the afflictions of the saints are accomplished;

we are counted as sheep for the slaughter; or "as sheep of slaughter" q; see Zechariah 11:4; that is, either as sheep to be slaughtered for food, their enemies delighting to eat their flesh and drink their blood; Zechariah 11:4- :, or for sacrifice, they reckoning it doing God good service to take away their lives, as though they sacrificed a lamb or a sheep unto him; and which, like sheep, they have patiently endured: this is the account made of them, not by the Lord, in whose sight their death is precious; nor by the saints, with whom their memory is dear; but by their furious persecutors, among whom they are as sheep among wolves; see 1 Corinthians 4:13.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long - That is, we are continually or constantly subjected to these calamities. It is not a single defeat, but it is a continued slaughter. This verse contains, in the apprehension of the psalmist, the true cause of the calamities which had come upon the nation. The emphasis in the passage lies in the phrase “for thy sake.” The meaning is, It is on thy account; it is in thy cause; it is because we are thy friends, and because we worship thee. It is not on account of our national sins; it is not because there is any prevalent idolatry, but it is because we are the worshippers of the true God, and we are, therefore, martyrs. All these calamities have come upon us in consequence of our attachment to thee. There is no evidence that there was any self-glorying in this, or any intention to blame God as if he were unjust or severe, but it is the feeling of martyrs as suffering in the cause of religion. This passage is applied by the apostle Paul to Christians in his time, as fitly describing their sufferings, and the cause of the calamities which came upon them. See the notes at Romans 8:36.

We are counted as sheep for the slaughter - We are reckoned like sheep designed for the slaughter. That is, It is not because we are guilty, but we are regarded and treated as innocent sheep who are driven to be slaughtered. See the notes at Romans 8:36. Their attachment to the true religion - their devotion to Yahweh as the true God - was the secret cause of all the calamities which had come upon them. As a nation they were his friends, and as such they were opposed by the worshippers of other gods.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 44:22. For thy sake are we killed all the day long — Because of our attachment to thee and to thy religion, we are exposed to continual death; and some of us fail a daily sacrifice to the persecuting spirit of our enemies, and we all carry our lives continually in our hands. In the same state were the primitive Christians; and St. Paul applies these words to their case, Romans 8:36.
