This song presents the glory of God and his discipline of Israel. In verse 22 the psalmist denotes the burden of oppression that God has put on his people. It was this verse that God useds to showed Paul that difficulties of this life have always been with God's people. In Romans 8:36 Paul quotes Psalm 44:22 and then makes the connection that our circumstances do not dictate our relationship with God. God's love and our faith make up the foundation of our confidence in God. Just as it did when this psalm was first sung. We see that in verses 23-26 as the psalmist calls out to God for his deliverance.
It took me about 3 minutes to read this passage.
