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

Shall not God search this out?.... Undoubtedly he would, was it so, and expose it, and punish for it; as he will the Balaamites and children of Jezebel, Revelation 2:18; this seems to be an appeal to God for the truth of all that the church had said concerning her steadfastness and integrity under the most trying exercises;

for he knoweth the secrets of the heart; whether the heart is turned back, or there is any inclination to apostatize from God, or his name is forgotten in it; as well as whether in fact the hand has been stretched out, or prayer made to a strange god, Jeremiah 17:9.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Shall not God search this out? - That is, If this had been the case, it would be known to God. If, as a nation, we had been given to idolatry, or if our hearts had been secretly alienated from the true God, though there had been no open manifestation of apostasy, yet that could not have been concealed from him. The question here asked implies a solemn declaration on the part of the psalmist that this was not so; or that there was no such national apostasy from God, and no such prevalence of idolatry in the land as to account for what had occurred. The reason for the calamities which had come upon them, therefore, must be found in something else.

For he knoweth the secrets of the heart - What is in the heart: what is concealed from the world. If there were any such alienation from him in the hearts of the people, he would know it. The fact that God knows the heart, or that he understands all the secret thoughts, purposes, and motives of people, is one that is everywhere affirmed in the Scriptures. See 1 Chronicles 28:9; Romans 8:27; compare the notes at Revelation 2:23.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 44:21. Shall not God search this out? — We confidently appeal to the true God, the searcher of hearts, for the truth of this statement.
