Psalm 44:9–16

9 But you have rejected and humiliated us;

you do not march out with our armies.w

10 You make us retreat from the foe,

and those who hate us

have taken plunder for themselves.x

11 You hand us over to be eaten like sheep

and scatter us among the nations.y

12 You sell your people for nothing;

you make no profit from selling them.z

13 You make us an object of reproach to our neighbors,

a source of mockery and ridicule to those around us.aa

14 You make us a joke among the nations,

a laughingstockB among the peoples.ab

15 My disgrace is before me all day long,

and shame has covered my face,a

16 because of the tauntsC of the scorner and reviler,

because of the enemy and avenger.b
