Psalms 44:8-16

⁸Therefore will wee praise God continually, and will confesse thy Name for euer. Selah.

⁹But now thou art farre off, and puttest vs to confusion, and goest not forth with our armies.

¹⁰Thou makest vs to turne backe from the aduersary, and they, which hate vs, spoile for theselues.

¹¹Thou giuest vs as sheepe to bee eaten, and doest scatter vs among the nations.

¹²Thou sellest thy people without gaine, and doest not increase their price.

¹³Thou makest vs a reproche to our neighbours, a iest and a laughing stocke to them that are round about vs.

¹⁴Thou makest vs a prouerbe among the nations, and a nodding of the head among the people.

¹⁵My confusion is dayly before me, and the shame of my face hath couered me,

¹⁶For the voyce of the slaunderer and rebuker, for the enemie and auenger.
