Contextual Overview
To the director: A maskil from the Korah family.
God, we have heard about you. Our fathers told us what you did in their lifetime. They told us what you did long ago. 2 With your great power you took this land from other people, and you gave it to us. You crushed those foreigners and forced them to leave this land. 3 It was not our fathers' swords that took the land. It was not their strong arms that brought them victory. It was your power. It was because you accepted them and smiled down on them. 4 God, you are my king. Give the command and lead Jacob's people to victory. 5 We need your help to push our enemies back. Only in your name can we trample those who attacked us. 6 I don't put my trust in my bow. My sword cannot save me. 7 You are the one who saved us from our enemies. You are the one who put our enemies to shame. 8 We have praised you all day long, and we will praise your name forever. SelahBible Verse Review

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thou art my King, O God,.... Besides the favours God had done for his people in time past, the church takes notice of her interest in God as her King, who was able to protect and defend her, and to deliver her out of all her distresses, in order the more to strengthen her faith and hope in him; and, claiming her interest in him, she draws nigh to him with an holy boldness, and desires him as a King, that by a word of his (for where the word of a king is, there is power) he would
command deliverances for Jacob; not literally, but mystically understood; the spiritual Jacob, and people of God; all Israelites indeed, in whom there is no guile; meaning herself and members: the blessing desired is "deliverances", or "salvations"; so called, because the, deliverance or salvation the Lord commands grants, and works out for his people, is of different kinds, both spiritual and, temporal, and is a deliverance from various things; from sin, Satan, the present evil world, wrath to come, and all enemies; and out of various temptations and afflictions, and which follow successively one upon another; and at last it is complete and perfect.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Thou art my King, O God - literally, “Thou art He, my King, O God;” that is, Thou art the same: the same King, and the same God, who didst interpose in the time of the fathers, and thou art he whom I recognize as King, as the Sovereign Ruler of thy people. The psalmist here uses the singular number, “my King,” as expressive of his own feelings, though he doubtless means also to speak in the name of the people. It would seem not improbable from this, that the author of the psalm was the reigning monarch in the time of the troubles referred to. If not, it was evidently one who personated him, and who meant to represent his feelings. The language shows the strong confidence of the author of the psalm in God, and perhaps also is designed to express his personal responsibility at the time, and his consciousness that his only refuge in conducting the troubled affairs of the nation was God.
Command deliverances for Jacob - As if all was under His command, and He had only to give direction, and salvation would come. The word “Jacob” here is used to denote the descendants of Jacob, or the people of God. See the notes at Psalms 24:6.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 44:4. Thou art my king — What thou wert to them, be to us. We believe in thee as they did; we have sinned and are in captivity, but we repent and turn unto thee; command, therefore, deliverances to Jacob, for we are the descendants of him in whose behalf thou hast wrought such wonders.
