Psalms 44:16

¹⁴ 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,

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

¹⁷ All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten You or betrayed Your covenant.

¹⁸ Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
