Verse 3
Psalms 44:3
This passage presents to us the following truths:
I. The co-operation of God secures the success of all right work.
II. The spirit of true godliness will acknowledge God's co-operation.
III. The recognition of God's co-operation in the work of others is largely useful to ourselves.
S. Martin, Westminster Chapel Pulpit, 3rd series, No. 13.
Verse 21
Psalms 44:21
This subject naturally divides itself into three parts.
I. The sin forgetting God and holding up the hands to some strange god. These are not two sins, but one and the same sin, contemplated first upon one side and then upon the other.
II. The certainty of the discovery and punishment of the sin. "Shall not God search it out?" God will search out these idols, these strange gods to which we lift up our hands, rendering to them the service, the love, the fealty, the affection, which we justly owe to Him, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
III. The ground of this certainty: because He with whom we have to do is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of man. "He knoweth the very secrets of the heart." The one great lesson for us is to beware of idols.
R. C. Trench, Sermons in Westminster Abbey, p. 261.
