13You have made us the butt of our neighbours, the derision and scorn of all round us.
14O'er the world you have made us a byword, the nations at us shake their heads.
15My disgrace is forever before me, my face is covered with shame,
16at the words of blasphemer and scoffer, at the sight of the foe and the vengeful.
17All this has come upon us, yet we have not forgotten you nor falsely dealt with your covenant.
18Our heart has not turned back, nor our steps declined from your way,
Psalms 44
Psalms 44:13-18
