- In Psalm 44:17 in reference to Israel's punishment the psalmist states, "All this happened to us, though we had not forgotten you or been false to your covenant. Our hearts had not turned back; our feet had not strayed from your path." You might wonder, "How can the Israelites possibly be saying that?" This perspective is actually coming from the faithful Israelites mixed in and punished with the unfaithful masses.
- In Psalm 74:14 we hear again about "Leviathan." In this case Leviathan is a reference to Egypt.
