Psalm 44:9-16

Good News Translation

⁹ But now you have rejected us and let us be defeated;
    you no longer march out with our armies.
¹⁰ You made us run from our enemies,
    and they took for themselves what was ours.
¹¹ You allowed us to be slaughtered like sheep;
    you scattered us in foreign countries.
¹² You sold your own people for a small price
    as though they had little value.^[a]

¹³ Our neighbors see what you did to us,
    and they mock us and laugh at us.
¹⁴ You have made us a joke among the nations;
    they shake their heads at us in scorn.
¹⁵ I am always in disgrace;
    I am covered with shame
¹⁶     from hearing the sneers and insults
    of my enemies and those who hate me.
