Psalms 44:8-17

⁸God, we proudly thank you all day long, and praise your name forever. Selah.

⁹But now you have rejected and disgraced us; you no longer accompany our armies.

¹⁰You made us run from our enemies, and those who hate us have taken whatever they wanted.

¹¹You have handed us over like sheep to be slaughtered; you have scattered us among the other nations.

¹²You have sold your own people for next to nothing, making no profit on the sale.

¹³You have made a mockery of us before our neighbors, we are ridiculed and laughed at by those around us.

¹⁴You have made us a joke to the other nations; they scornfully shake their heads at us.

¹⁵We are humiliated all day long; we hold our heads in shame,

¹⁶because of all the insults from the people mocking us, because our vengeful enemies are right in front of us.

¹⁷All this has happened to us even though we didn't forget you; we haven't been unfaithful to the promises we made to you.
