Psalms 44:14 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:14

Thou makest us a byword among the Heathen
Among the Papists, as the Jews were among the Gentiles, ( Deuteronomy 28:37 ) ( Jeremiah 24:9 ) ; calling them schismatics, heretics, fanatics, and what not? a shaking of the head among the people;
by way of indignation, scorn, and contempt; see ( Psalms 22:7 ) ( 109:25 ) .

Psalms 44:14 In-Context

12 You sold your precious people for a pittance, making nothing on the sale.

13 You let our neighbors mock us. We are an object of scorn and derision to those around us.

14 You have made us the butt of their jokes; they shake their heads at us in scorn.

15 We can’t escape the constant humiliation; shame is written across our faces.

16 All we hear are the taunts of our mockers. All we see are our vengeful enemies.
