Psalm 44:16

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

at the words of the taunters and revilers, at the sight of the enemy and the avenger.

See the chapter Copy

by the mouth of babes and infants, thou hast founded a bulwark because of thy foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.

Remember this, O Lord, how the enemy scoffs, and an impious people reviles thy name.

How long, O God, is the foe to scoff? Is the enemy to revile thy name for ever?

Incline thy ear, O Lord, and hear; open thy eyes, O Lord, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to mock the living God.

Return sevenfold into the bosom of our neighbors the taunts with which they have taunted thee, O Lord!

If I am wicked, woe to me! If I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head, for I am filled with disgrace and look upon my affliction.
