Psalm 44: The Song of the Slaughtered

“O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, what deeds you performed in their days, in the days of old…” (Psalm 44:1)

The Psalms are at times prayers for the confused. When we are suffering and we don’t know why, when we are in despair and we can’t see what God is doing, the Psalms give us an opportunity to air our confusion, bring our grievances to the Lord, and trust in him to work all things together for good.

The Woven Psalms is a reflective, unhurried, and practical podcast about praying every psalm in the Bible. This podcast is a ministry of Rock Hill Community Church in Duluth, MN. You can learn more about our work at www.wovenpsalms.com.

Mike Solis is our writer and host. Ethan Gibbs is our editor, producer, and composer of the theme music. Beau Walsh designed our logo. This episode features the song “Psalm 44” by Poor Bishop Hooper, and we want to thank them for allowing us to use the music from their EveryPsalm project. You can learn more about their music at www.poorbishophooper.com.
