Psalm 44:9-22
9
But you have s rejected us and disgraced us
and t have not gone out with our armies.
10
You have made us u turn back from the foe,
and those who hate us have gotten spoil.
11
You have made us like v sheep for slaughter
and have w scattered us among the nations.
12
x You have sold your people for a trifle,
demanding no high price for them.
13
You have made us y the taunt of our neighbors,
the derision and z scorn of those around us.
14
You have made us a a byword among the nations,
b a laughingstock among the peoples.
15
All day long my disgrace is before me,
and c shame has covered my face
16
at the sound of the taunter and reviler,
at the sight of d the enemy and the avenger.
17
e All this has come upon us,
though we have not forgotten you,
and we have not been false to your covenant.
18
Our heart has not turned back,
nor have our f steps g departed from your way;
19
yet you have h broken us in the place of i jackals
and covered us with j the shadow of death.
20
If we had forgotten the name of our God
or k spread out our hands to l a foreign god,
21
m would not God discover this?
n For he knows the secrets of the heart.
22
Yet o for your sake we are killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.
