Psalms 44:11-21 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

11. You let us be slaughteredlike sheep,and you scattered usamong the nations.

12. You sold your peoplefor little or nothing,and you earned no profit.

13. You made us look foolishto our neighbours,and people who live nearbyinsult us and sneer.

14. Foreigners joke about usand shake their heads.

15. I am embarrassed every day,and I blush with shame.

16. But others mock and sneer,as they watch my enemiestake revenge on me.

17. All of this has happened to us,though we didn't forget youor break our agreement.

18. We always kept you in mindand followed your teaching.

19. But you crushed us,and you covered uswith deepest darknesswhere wild animals live.

20. We did not forget youor lift our hands in prayerto foreign gods.

21. You would have known itbecause you discoverevery secret thought.
