6. Comforting himself in God's promises, he craves that help whereon he trusts














Have You not rejected us, O God?
This phrase reflects a deep sense of abandonment and confusion. Historically, Israel experienced periods where they felt forsaken by God, often due to their disobedience and idolatry (Judges 6:13). Theologically, this can be seen as a cry of lament, a common theme in the Psalms, where the psalmist expresses feelings of divine rejection. This sentiment is echoed in other scriptures, such as Lamentations 5:20, where the people question God's absence. Theologically, it underscores the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where divine favor is contingent upon obedience. This phrase also foreshadows the ultimate rejection Christ experienced on the cross (Matthew 27:46), highlighting the depth of human despair and the need for divine intervention.

Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
This phrase indicates a plea for divine presence and support in battle, a common request in the Old Testament where God's presence was crucial for victory (Joshua 5:13-15). The historical context involves Israel's military campaigns, where success was often attributed to God's direct involvement. Theologically, it emphasizes reliance on God rather than human strength, a theme seen in 1 Samuel 17:47, where David acknowledges that the battle belongs to the Lord. This plea can also be seen as a type of Christ, who leads His people in spiritual warfare (Revelation 19:11-16), ensuring victory over sin and death. The phrase reflects a longing for restoration of divine favor and guidance, essential for overcoming adversaries.

Persons / Places / Events
1. David
The author of the psalm, traditionally believed to be King David, who often wrote psalms during times of distress and military conflict.

2. Israel
The nation of Israel, which is experiencing a period of military defeat and is seeking God's intervention and favor.

3. Edom
A neighboring nation often in conflict with Israel, mentioned earlier in the psalm as a source of military threat.

Teaching Points
Understanding Divine Silence
Sometimes, God’s silence is a test of faith and perseverance. It is crucial to continue trusting in His ultimate plan and timing.

The Role of Repentance
Reflect on personal and communal sin that might be causing a separation from God. Repentance can restore the relationship and invite God’s presence back into our lives.

God’s Sovereignty in Battles
Recognize that victories and defeats are under God’s control. Trust in His sovereignty, even when outcomes are not as expected.

Persistent Prayer
Like David, we should persist in prayer, even when God seems distant. Continuous prayer is an act of faith and reliance on God.

Community and Leadership
Leaders, like David, should seek God’s guidance and rally their communities to trust in God’s deliverance, especially in challenging times.Verse 10. - Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? rather, Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? Can we expect thee to lead us, when thou hast so lately cast us off, and, as we hear it said on all sides, dost not go out with our armies? A reference, perhaps, to Psalm 44:9.
