Psalms 44:14-21

¹⁴Thou makest us a by-word among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.

¹⁵My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

¹⁶For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.

¹⁷All this is come upon us; yet we have not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

¹⁸Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;

¹⁹Though thou hast severely broke us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shades of death.

²⁰If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;

²¹Will not God search out this? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
