Contextual Overview

¹⁷ [And though] all this be come vpon vs: [yet] we do not forget thee, nor shewe our selues to be false in thy couenaunt. ¹⁸ Our heart is not turned backe, neither our steppes be declined out of thy pathes: ¹⁹ no not when thou hast smitten vs in the place of dragons, and couered vs with the shadowe of death. ²⁰ If we had forgotten the name of our Lorde, and holden vp our handes to any straunge god: ²¹ woulde not God searche it out? for he knoweth the very secretes of the heart. ²² For thy sake also are we kylled all the day long: and are counted as sheepe appoynted to be slayne. ²³ Stirre vp O Lorde, why slepest thou? awake & be not absent from vs for euer: ²⁴ wherfore hydest thou thy face, and forgettest our miserie and tribulation? ²⁵ For our soule is brought lowe vnto the dust: our belly cleaueth vnto ye grounde. ²⁶ Aryse vp thou our ayde, and redeeme vs: for thy louyng kindnesse sake.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons,.... Where men, comparable to dragons or their poison and cruelty, dwell; particularly in Rome, and the Roman jurisdiction, both Pagan and Papal, the seat of Satan the great red dragon, and of his wretched brood and offspring, the beast, to whom he has given his power; here the saints and followers of Christ have been sorely afflicted and persecuted, and yet have held fast the name of Christ, and not denied his faith; see Revelation 2:13; the wilderness is the habitation of dragons; and this is the name of the place where the church is said to be in the times of the Papacy, and where she is fed and preserved for a time, and times, and half a time, Revelation 12:6;

and covered us with the shadow of death; as the former phrase denotes the cruelty of the enemies of Christ's church and people, this their dismal afflictions and forlorn state and condition; see Psalms 23:4 Isaiah 9:2; and may have some respect to the darkness of Popery, when it was at the height, and the church of Christ was covered with it, there being very little appearances and breakings forth of Gospel light any where. According to Arama, the "place of dragons" denotes the captivity of Egypt, which is the great dragon; and the "shadow of death", he says, was a name of Egypt in ancient times, as say the Rabbins; and observes that Psalms 44:25 explains this; see Genesis 3:14.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons - Or rather, “That thou hast crushed us in the place of dragons.” The connection is continued from the previous verse: “Our heart is not so turned back, nor have our steps so declined from thy path, that thou shouldst crush us in the place of dragons.” That is, we have been guilty of no such apostasy and infidelity as to account for the fact that thou hast dealt with us in this manner, or make it necessary and proper that we should thus be crushed and overthrown The word rendered “dragons” - תנין tannı̂yn - means either a great fish; a sea monster; a serpent; a dragon; or a crocodile. See the notes at Isaiah 13:22. It may also mean a jackal, a fox, or a wolf. DeWette renders it here, jackals. The idea in the passage is essentially the same, whichever interpretation of the word is adopted. The “place of dragons” would denote the place where such monsters are found, or where they had their abode; that is to say, in desolate places; wastes; deserts; old ruins; depopulated towns. See the notes, as above, at Isaiah 13:19-22; compare Jeremiah 9:11. The meaning here would be, therefore, that they had been vanquished; that their cities and towns had been reduced to ruins; that their land had been laid waste; that the place where they had been “sore broken” was in fact a fit abode for wild beasts and monsters.

And covered us with the shadow of death - Our land has been covered with a dark and dismal shade, as if Death had cast his image or shadow over it. See Job 3:5, note; and Psalms 23:4, note. There could be no more striking illustration of calamity and ruin.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 44:19. Thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons — Thou hast delivered us into the hands of a fierce, cruel, and murderous people. We, as a people, are in a similar state to one who has strayed into a wilderness, where there are no human inhabitants; who hears nothing round about him but the hissing of serpents, the howling of beasts of prey, and the terrible roaring of the lion; and who expects every moment to be devoured.
