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 hast set us (as a) shame to our neighbours; mocking and scorn to them that be in our compass. (Thou hast made us a shame, or a reproach, to our neighbours; a mockery, and scorned by those who be all around us.)

14 Thou hast set us into likeness to heathen men; and stirring of the head/wagging of (the) head among peoples. (Thou hast made us into a likeness, or a byword, to the heathen; and they shook their heads over us among the nations.)

15 All day my shame is against me; and the shame of my face covered me. (All day long my shame is before me; and the shame on my face covered me.)

16 From the voice of [the] despiser, and evil speaker; from the face of the enemy, and [the] pursuer. (From the voice of him who despiseth, and speaketh evil; from before the enemy, and the pursuer.)

17 All these things came on us, and we have not forgotten thee; and we did not wickedly in thy testament. (All these things came upon us, but we did not forget thee; and we have not broken thy covenant.)
