Psalms 44:14 Context
12Thou sellest thy people for nought, and doest not increase thy wealth by their price. 13Thou makest vs a reproch to our neighbours, a scorne and a derision to them that are round about vs. 14Thou makest vs a by-word among the heathen: a shaking of the head among the people. 15My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath couered me. 16For the voice of him that reproacheth, and blasphemeth: by reason of the enemie and auenger.
