Psalms 44:7-15

⁷No, it is you who have rescued us from our enemies, it is you who have caused those who hate us to become ashamed because they were defeated.

⁸We have continually boasted about what God has done for us, and we will thank him MTY forever.

⁹But now you have rejected us and caused us to be disgraced; when our armies march out to fight a battle, you no longer go with them.

¹⁰You have caused us to run away from our enemies, with the result that they captured the things that belonged to us.

¹¹You have allowed us to become like MET sheep that were ready to be slaughtered; you scattered us far away among other nations.

¹²It is as though MET you sold us, your people, to our enemies for a very small price, and you did not gain much profit from selling us!

¹³People who live in nations near us make fun of us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.

¹⁴They make jokes using the name of our country, they shake their heads to indicate that they despise us.

¹⁵All day I feel disgraced; from seeing my face, people know that I am ashamed.
