Psalms 44:10-20

10 You cause us to 1turn back from the adversary; And those who hate us 2have taken spoil for themselves.
11 You give us as 3sheep to be eaten And have 4scattered us among the nations.
12 You 5sell Your people cheaply *, And have not profited by their sale.
13 You make us a 6reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and a 7derision to those around us.
14 You make us 8a byword among the nations, A 9laughingstock * among the peoples.
15 All day long my dishonor is before me And my 10humiliation * has overwhelmed me,
16 Because of the voice of him who 11reproaches and reviles, Because of the presence of the 12enemy and the avenger.
17 All this has come upon us, but we have 13not forgotten You, And we have not 14dealt falsely with Your covenant.
18 Our heart has not 15turned back, And our steps 16have not deviated from Your way,
19 Yet You have 17crushed us in a place of 18jackals And covered us with 19the shadow of death.
20 If we had 20forgotten the name of our God Or extended our hands to 21a strange god,
