Psalms 44:17 · KJV
My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; steps: or, goings
Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
