Psalms 44:7-18

⁷But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.

⁸In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.

⁹But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.

¹⁰Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they who hate us plunder for themselves.

¹¹Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for food; and hast scattered us among the heathen.

¹²Thou sellest thy people for naught, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.

¹³Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a derision to them that are around us.

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;
