“Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.”
Psalms 44:14 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 44:14
Israel becomes 'a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.' A 'byword' (mashal) means their name becomes a proverb of misfortune--when people want to describe disaster, they say 'like Israel.' The head-shaking gesture expresses contempt and ridicule. Their fall becomes an object lesson in failed faith.
