A Timeless Reality
Commentators explain that Paul quotes Psalm 44:22 to show that intense suffering has always been a reality for God's faithful people. Just as saints in the Old Testament were persecuted for their devotion, so too were the early Christians. This verse connects believers across history, reminding them that their trials are not a sign that God has abandoned them, but a shared experience of the faithful.
