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 (43-14) Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.

14 (43-15) Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: a shaking of the head among the people.

15 (43-16) All the day long my shame is before me: and the confusion of my face hath covered me,

16 (43-17) At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: at the face of the enemy and persecutor.

17 (43-18) All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: and we have not done wickedly in thy covenant.
