Though you have severely broken us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
All Commentaries on Psalms 44:19 Go To Psalms 44
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
15. "For Thou hast brought us low in the place of infirmity" (ver. 18): therefore Thou wilt exalt us in the place of strength. "And the shadow of death has covered us" (ver. 19). For this mortality of ours is but the "shadow" of death. The true death is condemnation with the devil.
