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 scribæ
velociter scribentis.
Speciosus forma præ filiis hominum,
diffusa est gratia in labiis tuis:
propterea benedixit te Deus in æternum.
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.
Sagittæ tuæ acutæ:
populi sub te cadent,
in corda inimicorum regis.
Sedes tua, Deus, in sæculum sæculi;
virga directionis virga regni tui.
Dilexisti justitiam, et odisti iniquitatem;
propterea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus,
oleo lætitiæ, præ consortibus tuis.
Myrrha, et gutta, et casia a vestimentis tuis,
a domibus eburneis; ex quibus delectaverunt te
filiæ 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 filiæ Tyri in muneribus vultum tuum deprecabuntur;
omnes divites plebis.
Omnis gloria ejus filiæ regis ab intus,
in fimbriis aureis,
circumamicta varietatibus.
Adducentur regi virgines post eam;
proximæ ejus afferentur tibi.
Afferentur in lætitia 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 æternum, et in sæculum sæculi.]

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.
