Will not you, O God, which had cast us off? and you, O God, which did not go out with our armies?
Will not you, O God, which had cast us off? and you, O God, which did not go out with our armies?
Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
Have not you put us away, O God? and you have not gone out with our armies.
Wilt thou not, O God, who hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, who didst not go out with our armies?
Haven't you, God, rejected us? You don't go out with our armies, God.
Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? and thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
Wilt not thou, O God - It is God alone from whom we can expect our enlargement. He who has cast us off, and has abandoned us in battle; it is that very God alone from whom we expect complete enlargement, the repossession of our own land, and the subduction of the surrounding nations; and we expect this, because he has graciously promised these mercies.
Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst east us off? - See the notes at Psalm 60:1. The meaning is, that although God had seemed to reject and forsake them, they had no other resource, and the appeal might be still made to him. The psalmist hoped that he would again be favorable to his people, and would not forsake them altogether. It is still true that although God may seem to forsake us, that although he may leave us for a time to discouragement and darkness, yet we have no other resource but himself; it is still true that we may hope in his mercy, and plead for his return.
And thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies? - Who didst suffer us to be defeated. See the notes at Psalm 60:2-3.
60:10 Hadst cut off - But now hast graciously returned to us.
