| 44:18 | Turned - From thy worship to idols. |
| 44:19 | Broken us - By inflicting upon us one breach after another, thou hast at last brought us to this pass. The place - A place extremely desolate, such as dragons love, Isaiah 13:21 ,22, and therefore full of horror, and danger. Covered us - With deadly horrors and miseries. |
| 44:22 | Yea - Because we are constant in thy worship, which they abhor. |
| 44:25 | Our soul - Our persons. Our belly - We are not only thrown down to the earth, but we lie there like dead carcases. |
