Psalms 44:15 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:15

My confusion [is] continually before me
Meaning that which is the occasion of it; and the shame of my face hath covered me;
not by reason of sin, which is often the cause of confusion and shame in God's people; see ( Jeremiah 3:25 ) ( Daniel 9:8 ) ; but on account of what follows.

Psalms 44:15 In-Context

13 You have made us to be looked down on by our neighbours, we are laughed at and shamed by those who are round about us.

14 Our name is a word of shame among the nations, a sign for the shaking of heads among the peoples.

15 My downfall is ever before me, and I am covered with the shame of my face;

16 Because of the voice of him who says sharp and bitter words; because of the hater and him who is the instrument of punishment.

17 All this has come on us, but still we have kept you in our memory; and we have not been false to your word.
