Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 44 of Psalms. Psalm 44 is a communal lament based on the memory of ancient victories and the present experience of defeat. Israel remembers that its ancestors received the land through God’s hand, not through their own strength. Precisely for this reason, the present crisis is perplexing: the people claim not to have deliberately abandoned the Lord. The prayer ends by asking God to awaken and act according to his mercy.

Du lässest uns auffressen wie Schafe und zerstreuest uns unter die Heiden.
Has vendido tu pueblo de balde, Y no pujaste en sus precios.
Vendes a tu pueblo por casi nada y no obtienes ganancia con su precio.
Tu vends ton peuple pour rien, Tu ne l'estimes pas à une grande valeur.
Tu hai venduto il tuo popolo senza danari, E non hai fatto alcuno avanzo de’ lor prezzi.
Tu vendes por nada o teu povo, e não aumentas a tua riqueza com o seu preço.
你賣了你的子民也不獲利, 所得的並未加添你的資財。
