Psalms 44:14-18

¹⁴Our name is a word of shame among the nations, a sign for the shaking of heads among the peoples.

¹⁵My downfall is ever before me, and I am covered with the shame of my face;

¹⁶Because of the voice of him who says sharp and bitter words; because of the hater and him who is the instrument of punishment.

¹⁷All this has come on us, but still we have kept you in our memory; and we have not been false to your word.

¹⁸Our hearts have not gone back, and our steps have not been turned out of your way;
