Psalms 44:14

Shame

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.

You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.

15 All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,

16 at the voice of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy, bent on revenge.
