Psalms 44:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 44:11

9 But ^aYou have cast us off and put us to shame,
And You do not go out with our armies.

10 You make us ^aturn back from the enemy,
And those who hate us have taken¹ spoil for themselves.

11 ^aYou have given us up like sheep intended for food,
And have ^bscattered us among the nations.

12 ^aYou sell Your people for next to nothing,
And are not enriched by selling them.

13 ^aYou make us a reproach to our neighbors,
A scorn and a derision to those all around us.

14 ^aYou make us a byword among the nations,
^bA shaking of the head among the peoples.

15 My dishonor is continually before me,
And the shame of my face has covered me,

16 Because of the voice of him who reproaches and reviles,
^aBecause of the enemy and the avenger.
