Psalms 44:15-26

¹⁵All day I feel disgraced; from seeing my face, people know that I am ashamed.

¹⁶I hear what those who sneer at me and revile me say; I am ashamed in front of my enemies and those who want to harm me.

¹⁷All these things have happened to us even though we have not forgotten you, and we are not the ones who disobeyed the agreement you made with our ancestors.

¹⁸We have not stopped being loyal to you, and we have not stopped doing what you want us to do IDM.

¹⁹But it is as though you have allowed us to be helpless among wild animals, and abandoned us in a deep dark ravine.

²⁰If we had forgotten to worship MTY our God, or if we had spread out our hands to worship a foreign god,

²¹you certainly would have known that, because you know even what we secretly think.

²²But it is because we belong to you, that our enemies are constantly killing us. They act toward us as though we were only sheep to be slaughtered.

²³So, Yahweh, arise! Why are you asleep RHQ? Get up! Do not reject us forever!

²⁴Why are you not looking at us? Why are you forgetting that we are suffering and being oppressed by our enemies?

²⁵We are pushed down to the ground and we cannot get up.

²⁶Arise, and come and help us! Rescue us because you faithfully love us!
