They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see; they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell; they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats. Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them. O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield. O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield. You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield. The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron; He will bless those who fear the LORD— small and great alike. May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children. May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind. It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence. But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah! |

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 44:8
In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah. In God we boast - He is the object in whom our praises terminate. The Hebrew [ haalal (H1984)] generally means to praise or celebrate in praises.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 44:8
In God we boast, as in a most sure rock, and our only refuge.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 44:8
Psalms 44:8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.Ver. 8. In God we boast all the day long] The Spaniards are said to be great boasters in the very lowest ebb of fortune. A godly man may be, and must be so by a holy gloriation; he must make his boasts of such a King, immortal, invisible, &c. The three children did so: Our God can deliver us, &c. And praise thy name] Thou alone shall have the praise of all our prosperity.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 44:8
Verse 8. In God we boast] We have told the heathen how great and powerful our God is. If thou do not deliver us by thy mighty power, they will not believe our report, but consider that we are held in bondage by the superior strength of their gods.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 44:8
8. Of God have we made our boast all day long, And unto thy name will we give thanks for ever. God has been the object of their praises in the past, and to Him they are resolved to give thanks (Psalms 42:5) continually. A musical interlude marks the conclusion of the first main division of the Psalm.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 44:8
In God we boast all the day long - That is, continually or constantly. It is not a momentary or temporary expression of our feelings, but it is our habitual and constant employment.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 44:8
8. In God we boast—Or, rather, dropping the preposition as a pleonasm, God we have praised all the day. Praise… for ever—Give thanks forever. The past and future are here embraced.
