15 I live in disgrace all day long, and my face is covered with shame
15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
15 All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face
15 Every day I'm up against it, my nose rubbed in my shame -
15 My dishonor is continually before me, And the shame of my face has covered me,
15 We can't escape the constant humiliation; shame is written across our faces.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 44:15
Commentary on Psalm 44:9-16
(Read Psalm 44:9-16)
The believer must have times of temptation, affliction, and discouragement; the church must have seasons of persecution. At such times the people of God will be ready to fear that he has cast them off, and that his name and truth will be dishonoured. But they should look above the instruments of their trouble, to God, well knowing that their worst enemies have no power against them, but what is permitted from above.
