8. For You saved us from our oppressors and put to shame those who hated us.
9. In God we make our boast all day and Your Name we praise forever. Selah
10. Yet You have spurned and humiliated us, and no longer go out with our armies.
11. You make us retreat before the enemy. Those who hate us have plundered us.
12. You gave us to be devoured like sheep and have scattered us among the nations.
13. You are selling Your people cheaply— not even getting a great price for them.
14. You made us a taunt for our neighbors, a scorn and ridicule for those around us.
15. You have made us a byword among the nations, head-wagging among the peoples.
16. All day my disgrace is before me, and my face is covered with shame—
17. because of the sound of taunting and reviling from the face of a vengeful enemy.
18. All this came upon us, though we did not forget You, nor were we false to Your covenant.
