Commentary for Psalms 44:20
כִּ֣י דִ֭כִּיתָנוּ בִּמְק֣וֹם תַּנִּ֑ים וַתְּכַ֖ס עָלֵ֣ינוּ בְצַלְמָֽוֶת׃
Though Thou hast crushed us into a place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
Rashi on Psalms
when You crushed us in a place of serpents This כי serves as an expression of כאשר, when. Even when You humbled us in a land of plains and pits; [in] a desert, a place of serpents, and You covered us with the darkness of deathdespite all this, if we forgot the name of our God, will God not search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.
