“Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.”
King James Version (KJV)
Psalms 44:19 Context
16For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. 17All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. 18Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; 19Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. 20If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; 21Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. 22Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

Wesley's Notes for Psalms 44:19
44:19 Broken us - By inflicting upon us one breach after another, thou hast at last brought us to this pass. The place - A place extremely desolate, such as dragons love, #Isa 13:21|,22, and therefore full of horror, and danger. Covered us - With deadly horrors and miseries.
