All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
The psalm belongs to the reign of Hezekiah at the time of the Assyrian invasion. It describes Israel in an afflicted and persecuted condition, and it serves to encourage the downcast. Despite the calamities that have come upon them, the people affirm that they have not forgotten God and have not dealt falsely with his covenant.
Hardship and conflict can come upon God's people while they remain faithful to him and keep his covenant, so that the trials of a year do not turn their hearts back or lead them away from God's way.
