Psalms 44:15

My confusion&c. Render with R.V., All the day long is my dishonour before me, as in Psalms 44:8; Psalms 44:22; Psalms 44:9. My disgrace is perpetually staring me in the face. Cp. Psalms 38:17.

the shame of my face&c. Shame is said to cover or clothe a man (Job 8:22; Psalms 35:26; Psalms 69:7; Psalms 132:18); and the shame of my faceis an emphatic synonym for my shame, inasmuch as the sense of shame betrays itself in the countenance. Cp. Ezra 9:6 ff; Jeremiah 7:19; Daniel 9:7-8.
