Psalm 44 A Psalm Of Hezekiah? Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Dec 1, 2020

This psalm, like Psalm 42, bears a superscription dedicating it “to the chief Musician for the sons of Korah[2]” and identifying it as a Maskil[3], meaning instructional. From this psalm we can see how much that generation still had to learn about the ways of God.
