Psalm 44:17-19 Part 2 of 2

All this came upon us, though we had not forgotten you; we had not been false to your covenant. Our hearts had not turned back; our feet had not strayed from your path. But you crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals; you covered us over with deep darkness. 

Our hearts had not turned back 
Psalm 119:51  The arrogant mock me unmercifully, but I do not turn from your law.
Psalm 119:157  Many are the foes who persecute me, but I have not turned from your statutes.

but you crushed us 
2 Chronicles 14:12-13  The LORD struck down the Cushites before Asa and Judah. The Cushites fled, and Asa and his army pursued them as far as Gerar. Such a great number of Cushites fell that they could not recover; they were crushed before the LORD and his forces. The men of Judah carried off a large amount of plunder.
Psalm 51:8  Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.

and made us a haunt for jackals 
Job 30:29  "I have become a brother of jackals, a companion of owls."
Isaiah 34:13  Thorns will overrun her citadels, nettles and brambles her strongholds. She will become a haunt for jackals, a home for owls.

you covered us over with deep darkness 
Job 3:5  "May gloom and utter darkness claim it (the day of Job's birth) once more; may a cloud settle over it; may blackness overwhelm it."
