Psalms 44:17-25

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,

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

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

²¹Will 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 accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

²³Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? Arise, cast us not off for ever.

²⁴Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

²⁵For our soul is bowed down to the dust: Our body cleaveth unto the earth.
