Psalms 44:17

All this has happened to us, even though we have not rejected you ¹  or violated your covenant with us. ² 

De 6:12; De 8:14; Ps 9:17; Ps 44:20; Isa 17:10; Jer 2:32; Jer 31:32; Eze 16:59; Eze 20:37; Da 9:13

¹ tn Heb “we have not forgotten you.” To “forget” God refers here to worshiping false gods and thereby refusing to recognize his sovereignty (see v. 20, as well as Deut 8:19; Judg 3:7; 1 Sam 12:9; Isa 17:10; Jer 3:21; Ps 9:17).Thus the translation “we have not rejected you” has been used.

² tn Heb “and we did not deal falsely with your covenant.”
