Psalms [Praises] 44:7-16

⁷But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.

⁸In God we have made our boast all day long, we will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to your name forever. Selah ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

⁹But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and don’t go out with our armies.

¹⁰You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take plunder for themselves.

¹¹You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.

¹²You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.

¹³You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.

¹⁴You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

¹⁵All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my face,

¹⁶At the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.
