In Psalm 44, the psalmist seems to be mourning over the present conditions they are facing in Babylon.
You handed us over like sheep to be eaten; you scattered us among the nations. (Psalms 44:11 NET)
All this has happened to us, even though we have not rejected you or violated your covenant with us. (Psalms 44:17 NET)
This seems to contradict other books in which the reason Israel is given over is due to disobedience to the covenant.
This is what the Lord says: “Where is your mother’s divorce certificate by which I divorced her? Or to which of my creditors did I sell you? Look, you were sold because of your sins; because of your rebellious acts I divorced your mother.” (Isaiah 50:1 NET)
The earth lies defiled under its inhabitants; for they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant. (Isaiah 24:5 ESV)
Can someone offer an explanation?
