Psalms 44:9-22

9But You have cast us off and put us to shame, And You do not go out with our armies.

10You make us turn back from the enemy, And those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves.

11You have given us up like sheep intended for food, And have scattered us among the nations.

12You sell Your people for next to nothing, And are not enriched by selling them.

13You make us a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a derision to those all around us.

14You make us a byword among the nations, A shaking of the head among the peoples.

15My dishonor is continually before me, And the shame of my face has covered me,

16Because of the voice of him who reproaches and reviles, Because of the enemy and the avenger.

17All this has come upon us; But we have not forgotten You, Nor have we dealt falsely with Your covenant.

18Our heart has not turned back, Nor have our steps departed from Your way;

19But You have severely broken us in the place of jackals, And covered us with the shadow of death.

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

21Would not God search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.

22Yet for Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
