Summary

This verse expresses the feeling of abandonment and defeat felt by the psalmist and the people of Israel, despite their faithfulness to God. It reflects the human experience of facing trials and challenges even when living in obedience to God's commands. The psalmist's honesty in expressing these emotions serves as a reminder that it is normal to struggle with feelings of abandonment and confusion in the midst of adversity. Ultimately, this verse points to the importance of turning to God in times of distress, seeking His comfort and strength despite the circumstances.

Commentary

John Gill

John Gill Bible Commentary

Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy,.... In the times of Eli, according to Arama; but may he understood of some of the visible members of the church, and professors of religion, not being valiant for the truth, and deserting the cause of God and Christ, by reason of tribulation and persecution arising because of the word; and they which hate us spoil for themselves; by seizing on the goods and substance of those they persecuted; enriching themselves by confiscating their estates and possessions to their own use; or by spoiling others of them, they deceived with their corrupt doctrines and soul destroying principles, whereby they became slaves to the antichristian party; this may respect the same wars as before.
