Unlike the previous psalms, the main theme of Psalm 44 deals with a prayer for God’s help for the entire nation in the face of some national calamity. In other psalms, the petitions before God have been made on behalf of the individual or a group of people. But this prayer is on behalf of all...

When we think about the psalms, the one that often comes to mind is the 23rd psalm. It is beautiful and reprinted often today. But in the time known as the Reformation in Europe, Psalm 46 held at least as important a place. When the Reformation began, Martin Luther wrote that the one psalm that...
