Psalm 44:10-17

New International Version

¹⁰You made us retreat^(A) before the enemy,
    and our adversaries have plundered^(B) us.
¹¹You gave us up to be devoured like sheep^(C)
    and have scattered us among the nations.^(D)
¹²You sold your people for a pittance,^(E)
    gaining nothing from their sale.

¹³You have made us a reproach^(F) to our neighbors,^(G)
    the scorn^(H) and derision^(I) of those around us.
¹⁴You have made us a byword^(J) among the nations;
    the peoples shake their heads^(K) at us.
¹⁵I live in disgrace^(L) all day long,
    and my face is covered with shame^(M)
¹⁶at the taunts^(N) of those who reproach and revile^(O) me,
    because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.^(P)

¹⁷All this came upon us,
though we had not forgotten^(Q) you;
we had not been false to your covenant.

New King James Version

¹⁰You make us ^(A)turn back from the enemy,
And those who hate us have taken ^[a]spoil for themselves.

And have ^(C)scattered us among the nations.

And are not enriched by selling them.

¹³^(E)You make us a reproach to our neighbors,
A scorn and a derision to those all around us.
¹⁴^(F)You make us a byword among the nations,
^(G)A shaking of the head among the peoples.
¹⁵My dishonor is continually before me,
And the shame of my face has covered me,
¹⁶Because of the voice of him who reproaches and reviles,
^(H)Because of the enemy and the avenger.
