Psalms 44:11
9 But You have rejected and humbled us; You no longer go forth with our armies.
10 You have made us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have plundered us.
You have given us up as sheep to be devoured; You have scattered us among the nations.
12 You sell Your people for nothing; no profit do You gain from their sale.
13 You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
