But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame

Psalm 44:9–16, “But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves. Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen. Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price. Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. 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.”

Even though the Lord helped Israel throughout the years, He had a contract with the nation and, with integrity, He kept to the terms of the contract. Israel sinned against the Lord and followed after strange gods so they suffered punishment. Their enemies came and attacked them and the Lord didn’t give them great victories as He had done before. The heathen nations knew that they Lord wasn’t helping them any longer and they cursed Israel. However, the Lord was working to restore Israel to their former place where they kept to the terms of the contract that they had agreed to.
