Psalms 44:9-22

9But you have rejected and humiliated us; you do not march out with our armies.

10You make us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have taken plunder for themselves.

11You hand us over to be eaten like sheep and scatter us among the nations.

12You sell your people for nothing; you make no profit from selling them.

13You make us an object of reproach to our neighbors, a source of mockery and ridicule to those around us.

14You make us a joke among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.

15My disgrace is before me all day long, and shame has covered my face,

16because of the taunts of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy and avenger.

17All this has happened to us, but we have not forgotten you or betrayed your covenant.

18Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from your path.

19But you have crushed us in a haunt of jackals and have covered us with deepest darkness.

20If we had forgotten the name of our God and spread out our hands to a foreign god,

21wouldn’t God have found this out, since he knows the secrets of the heart?

22Because of you we are being put to death all day long; we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.
