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 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to those that are round about us.

14 Thou makest us a byword among the Gentiles, a shaking of the head among the people.

15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face has covered me,

16 for the voice of him that reproaches and blasphemes by reason of the enemy and of the avenger.

17 All this is come upon us; yet we have not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
