All this has come upon us
This phrase acknowledges the reality of suffering and adversity that the people of Israel are experiencing. The Hebrew root for "come upon" is "בּוֹא" (bo), which often implies an arrival or an occurrence that is beyond one's control. Historically, Israel faced numerous challenges, including invasions and exiles, which were often seen as consequences of their disobedience to God. Yet, this phrase sets the stage for a deeper exploration of faith amidst trials, reminding believers that suffering is part of the human experience and often serves a greater purpose in God's divine plan.

though we have not forgotten You
Here, the psalmist asserts their faithfulness to God despite their circumstances. The Hebrew word for "forgotten" is "שָׁכַח" (shakach), which means to lose memory or to neglect. This declaration is significant because it highlights the steadfastness of the Israelites' faith. In a conservative Christian perspective, this serves as a powerful reminder that true faith persists even when God seems silent or distant. It encourages believers to maintain their devotion and trust in God, knowing that He is always present, even when He seems hidden.

or betrayed Your covenant
The term "betrayed" comes from the Hebrew "כָּחַשׁ" (kachash), which means to deceive or deny. The "covenant" refers to the sacred agreement between God and His people, established through figures like Abraham and Moses. In the historical context, the covenant was central to Israel's identity and relationship with God. This phrase underscores the psalmist's claim of innocence and loyalty, emphasizing that their suffering is not due to a breach of faith. For conservative Christians, it serves as a call to uphold the commitments made to God, trusting that He honors His promises even when circumstances are challenging.

Verses 17-22. - In this third stanza the psalmist strongly emphasizes his complaint by maintaining that the calamities from which they are suffering have not come upon the people through any fault of their own, or been in any way provoked or deserved He is, perhaps, over-confident; but we cannot doubt that he is sincere in the belief, which he expresses, that the people, both before and during their calamities, have been obedient and faithful to God, wholly free from idolatry, and exemplary in their conduct and life. There are not many periods of Israelite history at which such a description could have been given without manifest untruth, and the time of David is certainly more suitable for it than almost any other. Verse 17. - All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. Israel had neither put aside the thought of religion, and given herself up to wordliness, nor yet, while still professedly religious, transgressed habitually God's commandments. She maintained "thorough sincerity in religion, and consistent integrity of life." Yet "all this" - all that has been described in vers. 9-16 - had come upon her.
