Psalms 44:5-16

⁵(44-6) Through Thee do we push down our adversaries; through Thy name do we tread them under that rise up against us.

⁶(44-7) For I trust not in my bow, neither can my sword save me.

⁷(44-8) But Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.

⁸(44-9) In God have we gloried all the day, and we will give thanks unto Thy name for ever. Selah

⁹(44-10) Yet Thou hast cast off, and brought us to confusion; and goest not forth with our hosts.

¹⁰(44-11) Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary; and they that hate us spoil at their will.

¹¹(44-12) Thou hast given us like sheep to be eaten; and hast scattered us among the nations.

¹²(44-13) Thou sellest Thy people for small gain, and hast not set their prices high.

¹³(44-14) Thou makest us a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.

¹⁴(44-15) Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

¹⁵(44-16) All the day is my confusion before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

¹⁶(44-17) For the voice of him that taunteth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the revengeful.
