Mazmur 44:17

44:17 All this has happened to us, even though we have not rejected you ¹ 

or violated your covenant with us. ² 

Mazmur 89:30

89:30 If his sons reject my law

and disobey my regulations,

[44:17]  ¹ tn Heb “we have not forgotten you.” To “forget” God refers here to worshiping false gods and thereby refusing to recognize his sovereignty (see v. 20, as well as Deut 8:19; Judg 3:7; 1 Sam 12:9; Isa 17:10; Jer 3:21; Ps 9:17).Thus the translation “we have not rejected you” has been used.

[44:17]  ² tn Heb “and we did not deal falsely with your covenant.”
