Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 13. - Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours (comp. Psalm 42:10; Psalm 79:4; Psalm 80:6). They would be reproached, not so much as cowards, or as weak and powerless themselves, but rather as having a weak and powerless God (comp. 2 Kings 18:33-35; 2 Kings 19:12). A scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. (For instances of the "scorn and derision" whereto the Israelites were exposed at the hands of the heathen, see 2 Kings 18:23, 24; 2 Kings 19:23, 24; Nehemiah 2:19; Nehemiah 4:2, 3; Psalm 79:4; Psalm 137:7.)

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13, 14) These verses become very suggestive, if we refer them to one of those periods under the Seleucidae, when the Jews were so frequently attacked on the Sabbath, and from their scrupulous regard to it would make no resistance.
