Psalms 44:6-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 44
6For I will not trust in my bow, Nor will my sword save me. 7But You have saved us from our adversaries, And You have put to shame those who hate us. 8In God we have boasted all day long, And we will give thanks to Your name forever. Selah 9Yet You have rejected us and brought us to dishonor, And do not go out with our armies. 10You cause us to turn back from the enemy; And those who hate us have taken spoils for themselves. 11You turn us over to be eaten like sheep, And have scattered us among the nations. 12You sell Your people cheaply, And have not profited by their sale. 13You make us an object of reproach to our neighbors, Of scoffing and ridicule to those around us. 14You make us a proverb among the nations, A laughingstock among the peoples. 15All day long my dishonor is before me And I am covered with my humiliation, 16Because of the voice of one who taunts and reviles, Because of the presence of the enemy and the avenger. 17All this has come upon us, but we have not forgotten You, And we have not dealt falsely with Your covenant.King James Version

Chapter 44
6For I do not trust in my bow, and my sword does not bring me victory. 7But you give us victory over our foes and let those who hate us be disgraced.
8We boast in God all day long; we will praise your name forever. Selah
9But you have rejected and humiliated us; you do not march out with our armies.
10You make us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have taken plunder for themselves.
11You hand us over to be eaten like sheep and scatter us among the nations.
12You sell your people for nothing; you make no profit from selling them.
13You make us an object of reproach to our neighbors, a source of mockery and ridicule to those around us.
14You make us a joke among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.
15My disgrace is before me all day long, and shame has covered my face,
New Living Translation
Chapter 44
6I do not trust in my bow; I do not count on my sword to save me. 7You are the one who gives us victory over our enemies; you disgrace those who hate us.
9But now you have tossed us aside in dishonor. You no longer lead our armies to battle.
10You make us retreat from our enemies and allow those who hate us to plunder our land.
11You have butchered us like sheep and scattered us among the nations.
12You sold your precious people for a pittance, making nothing on the sale.
13You let our neighbors mock us. We are an object of scorn and derision to those around us.
14You have made us the butt of their jokes; they shake their heads at us in scorn.
15We can’t escape the constant humiliation; shame is written across our faces.
16All we hear are the taunts of our mockers. All we see are our vengeful enemies.
English Standard Version
Chapter 44
6For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me. 7But you have saved us from our foes and have put to shame those who hate us. 8 In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah 9But you have rejected us and disgraced us and have not gone out with our armies. 10You have made us turn back from the foe, and those who hate us have gotten spoil. 11You have made us like sheep for slaughter and have scattered us among the nations. 12 You have sold your people for a trifle, demanding no high price for them. 13You have made us the taunt of our neighbors, the derision and scorn of those around us. 14You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples. 15All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face 16at the sound of the taunter and reviler, at the sight of the enemy and the avenger. 17 All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten you, and we have not been false to your covenant.New International Version
Chapter 44
6I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; 7but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame.
8In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever.
9But now you have rejected and humbled us; you no longer go out with our armies.
10You made us retreat before the enemy, and our adversaries have plundered us.
11You gave us up to be devoured like sheep and have scattered us among the nations.
12You sold your people for a pittance, gaining nothing from their sale.
13You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us.
14You have made us a byword among the nations; the peoples shake their heads at us.
15I live in disgrace all day long, and my face is covered with shame
New King James Version
Chapter 44
6For I will not trust in my bow, Nor shall my sword save me. 7But You have saved us from our enemies, And have put to shame those who hated us.
9But You have cast us off and put us to shame, And You do not go out with our armies.
10You make us turn back from the enemy, And those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves.
11 You have given us up like sheep intended for food, And have scattered us among the nations.
12 You sell Your people for next to nothing, And are not enriched by selling them.
13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a derision to those all around us.
14 You make us a byword among the nations, A shaking of the head among the peoples.
15My dishonor is continually before me, And the shame of my face has covered me,
16Because of the voice of him who reproaches and reviles, Because of the enemy and the avenger.
17 All this has come upon us; But we have not forgotten You, Nor have we dealt falsely with Your covenant.
