Context of Psalms 44:15
13You made us an object of disdain to our neighbors; those who live on our borders taunt and insult us. 14You made us an object of ridicule among the nations; foreigners treat us with contempt. All day long I feel humiliated and am overwhelmed with shame, 16before the vindictive enemy who ridicules and insults me. 17All this has happened to us, even though we have not rejected you or violated your covenant with us.
