Psalms 44:18

We have not been unfaithful, ¹  nor have we disobeyed your commands. ² 

1Ki 15:5; Job 23:11,12; Job 34:27; Ps 78:57; Ps 119:51,157; Ps 125:5; Jer 11:10; Zep 1:6; Lu 17:32; 1Co 15:58; 1Th 2:10

¹ tn Heb “our heart did not turn backward.” Cf. Ps 78:57.

² tn Heb “and our steps did [not] turn aside from your path.” The negative particle is understood by ellipsis (see the preceding line). God’s “path” refers to his commands, i.e., the moral pathway he has prescribed for the psalmist. See Pss 17:5; 25:4.
