Psalms 44:7-26 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

7. But you have saved us from our enemies, and have put them to shame that hated us.

8. In God we boast all the day long, and praise your name forever. Selah.

9. But you have cast off, and put us to shame; and go not forth with our armies.

10. You make us to turn back from the enemy: and they who hate us take spoil for themselves.

11. You have given us like sheep appointed for food; and have scattered us among the nations.

12. You sell your people for nothing, and do not increase your wealth by their price.

13. You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.

14. You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the people.

15. My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face has covered me,

16. For the voice of him that reproaches and blasphemes; because of the enemy and avenger.

17. All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten you, neither have we dealt falsely in your covenant.

18. Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from your way;

19. Though you have severely broken us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.

20. If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;

21. Shall not God search this out? for he knows the secrets of the heart.

22. Yea, for your sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

23. Awake, why sleep you, O Lord? arise, cast us not off forever.

24. Why hide you your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?

25. For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our body cleaves unto the earth.

26. Arise for our help, and redeem us for your mercies' sake.
