Context of Psalms 44:10
8Every day, we praise you, God. We will always thank you, all the time, because you are great! Selah. 9But now you have turned against us. You have made us ashamed. When our armies go out to fight a battle, you no longer go with us. You make us run away from our enemies. The people who hate us take from us whatever they like! 11You have put us under their power, so that they kill us like sheep for them to eat. You have sent us away to live in foreign countries. 12You have sold your own people, for almost nothing! They had no value to you.
