Psalms 44:16-22

¹⁶(44:17) Because of the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and him that seeketh vengeance.

¹⁷(44:18) All this is come over us, yet have we not forgotten thee; nor have we dealt falsely by thy covenant;

¹⁸(44:19) Our heart is not moved backward, nor hath our step turned aside from thy path:

¹⁹(44:20) Even when thou didst crush us in the abode of monsters, and cover us with the shadow of death.

²⁰(44:21) If we had forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange God:

²¹(44:22) Would not God search out this? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

²²(44:23) But for thy sake are we slain all the day; we are counted as flocks destined for slaughter.
