Psalms 44:14 in context

Psalms 44:11–17

11

You have made us like sheep for food,

and have scattered us among the nations.

12

You sell your people for nothing,

and have gained nothing from their sale.

13

You make us a reproach to our neighbors,

a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.

14
Selected verse

You make us a byword among the nations,

a shaking of the head among the peoples.

15

All day long my dishonor is before me,

and shame covers my face,

16

at the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses,

because of the enemy and the avenger.

17

All this has come on us,

yet we haven’t forgotten you.

We haven’t been false to your covenant.
