 Book 2, Series 1. The Great Tribulation. (“The Placement of the Psalms in Prophecy” by B. Anstey)
 The exercises flowing from relationship under trial are not the theme of this book {of the Psalms}, but exercises of soul with God, when the enjoyment of known relationship is lost. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 42-44 by J.N. Darby)
 Two great principles, faithfulness to the will and authority of God, whatever disaster and seeming desertion there may be, and looking for no other help than God Himself, who seems to have deserted the faithful, are here in play. This puts integrity utterly to the test, and personal faith, and that is just what is needed for the soul to be in the state in which it can be restored to the full joy of positive blessing. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 42-44 by J.N. Darby)
 There is progress, I think, in psalm 44., as compared with the two preceding psalms. There was deprivation, and the light of God's countenance looked for; and all right. Here God Himself is held to in heart-integrity, in spite of everything. It is the same in principle, but more absolute. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 42-44 by J.N. Darby)
 {v.1-2} While the godly remnant wait for deliverance they recall an occasion in Israel’s history when the land was once before given up to wickedness and idolatry when the Canaanites possessed it. (Book 2. by B. Anstey)
