Psalms

Psalm 44:15–18

¹⁵All day long my disgrace is before me,

and shame has covered my face,

¹⁶at the voice of the scorner and reviler,

because of the enemy, bent on revenge.

¹⁷All this has come upon us,

though we have not forgotten You

or betrayed Your covenant.

¹⁸Our hearts have not turned back;

our steps have not strayed from Your path.
