Revised Version 1895

Psalms 44:9-22

9But now thou hast cast us off, and brought us to dishonour; and goest not forth with our hosts.

10Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.

11Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the nations.

12Thou sellest thy people for nought, and hast not increased thy wealth by their price.

13Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn 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.

15All the day long is my dishonour 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.

18Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;

19That thou hast sore broken us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.

20If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god;

21Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

22Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
