Have You rejected us, O God?
The phrase begins with a poignant question that reflects a deep sense of abandonment and concern. The Hebrew root for "rejected" is "זָנַח" (zanach), which conveys a strong sense of being cast off or forsaken. Historically, this reflects moments in Israel's history when they felt distant from God's favor, often due to their own disobedience. Theologically, it underscores the human experience of feeling distant from God, a theme that resonates throughout the Psalms. This question invites believers to reflect on their own spiritual state and the importance of seeking reconciliation with God.

Will You no longer march out, O God
The imagery of God "marching out" with the armies is a powerful depiction of divine leadership and protection. The Hebrew word for "march out" is "יָצָא" (yatsa), which means to go forth or to lead. In ancient Israel, God's presence was often associated with military victories, as seen in the accounts of battles where God fought for Israel. This phrase evokes the historical context of Israel's reliance on God's guidance and strength in warfare. For contemporary believers, it serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the assurance that He leads and protects His people in spiritual battles.

with our armies?
The mention of "our armies" highlights the communal aspect of Israel's identity and their dependence on God for success. The Hebrew term "חַיִל" (chayil) can refer to an army, strength, or valor. This reflects the collective strength of the people when united under God's command. In a broader spiritual sense, it symbolizes the Church as the body of Christ, called to stand together in faith and righteousness. The historical context of Israel's military campaigns serves as a metaphor for the spiritual warfare that believers face, emphasizing the need for unity and reliance on God's power.

Verse 11. - Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts? Identical with Psalm 60:10, with the exception that there, in the first clause, "thou" is expressed by אתּה The meaning is probably that assigned in the Revised Version, "Hast not thou cast us off, O God? and thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts" (see the comment on Psalm 60:10).
