Psalms 44:16-21 in English

¹⁶ For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth, By reason of the enemy and the avenger.

¹⁸ Our heart is not turned back, Neither have our steps declined from thy way,

¹⁹ That thou hast sore broken us in the place of jackals, And covered us with the shadow of death.

²⁰ If we have forgotten the name of our God, Or spread forth our hands to a strange god;

²¹ Will not God search this out? For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

¹⁶ They shall be brought with gladness and exultation: they shall be led into the king's temple.

¹⁷ Instead of thy fathers children are born to thee: thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.

¹⁸ They shall make mention of thy name from generation to generation: therefore shall the nations give thanks to thee for ever, even for ever and ever.
