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

If we have forgotten the name of our God,.... As antichrist, and the antichristian party did in those times, Daniel 11:36;

or stretched out our hands to a strange god; as not to any of the Heathen deities under the Pagan persecutions, so not to any images of gold, silver, brass, and wood, under the Papal tyranny; not to the Virgin Mary, nor to angels and saints departed; nor to the breaden God in the mass, never heard of before; see Daniel 11:38.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

If we have forgotten the name of our God - That is, if we have apostatized from him.

Or stretched out our hands to a strange god - Or have been guilty of idolatry. The act of stretching out the hands, or spreading forth the hands, was significant of worship or prayer: 1Ki 8:22; 2 Chronicles 6:12-13; see the notes at Isaiah 1:15. The idea here is, that this was not the cause or reason of their calamities; that if this had occurred, it would have been a sufficient reason for what had taken place; but that no such cause actually existed, and therefore the reason must be found in something else. It was the fact of such calamities having come upon the nation when no such cause existed, that perplexed the author of the psalm, and led to the conclusion in his own mind Psalms 44:22 that these calamities were produced by the malignant designs of the enemies of the true religion, and that, instead of their suffering for their national sins, they were really martyrs in the cause of God, and were suffering for his sake.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 44:20. If we have forgotten the name of our God — That name, יהוה Jehovah, by which the true God was particularly distinguished, and which implied the exclusion of all other objects of adoration.

Or stretched out our hands — Made supplication; offered prayer or adoration to any strange god - a god that we had not known, nor had been acknowledged by our fathers. It has already been remarked, that from the time of the Babylonish captivity the Jews never relapsed into idolatry.

It was customary among the ancients, while praying, to stretch out their hands towards the heavens, or the image they were worshipping, as if they expected to receive the favour they were asking.
