Context of Psalms 44:15
13You have made us the reproach and taunt of our neighbors, A scoffing and a derision to those around us. 14You make us a byword among the nations, A laughingstock among the people. My dishonor is before me all day long, And humiliation has covered my face, 16Because of the voice of the taunter and reviler, Because of the presence of the enemy and the avenger. 17All this has come upon us, yet we have not forgotten You, Nor have we been false to Your covenant [which You made with our fathers].
