Context of Psalms 44:15

13Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and a derision to them that are round about us. 14Thou makest us a byword among the nations, A shaking of the head among the peoples. All the day long is my dishonor before me, And the shame of my face hath covered me, 16For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth, By reason of the enemy and the avenger. 17All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, Neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
