John Gill Commentary Psalms 44:25

"For our soul is bowed down to the dust: Our body cleaveth unto the earth." — Psalms 44:25 (ASV)

For our soul is bowed down to the dust
Which may signify great declension in spiritual things, much dejection of mind, and little exercise of grace, (Psalms 119:25) (Lamentations 3:29) ; or a very low estate in temporals; subjection to their enemies; they setting their feet upon their necks, and obliging them to lick the dust of them: and even it may signify nearness to death itself; see (Joshua 10:24) (Isaiah 49:23) (Psalms 22:16) ;

our belly cleaveth to the earth ;
as persons that lie prostrate, being conquered and suppliants.
