Psalm 44:22
Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. (Psalm 44:22)
For thy sake.
 The psalmist claims that the sufferings were not because the people had broken the covenant, but because they were God’s people. Paul quotes this verse to describe the sufferings of Christians (see Rom. 8:36).
