17All this hath come upon us; Yet have we not forgotten thee, Nor have we been false to thy covenant.
18Our hearts, have not wandered from thee, Nor have our feet gone out of thy path;
19Though thou hast crushed us in a land of jackals, And covered us with thick darkness.
20If we had forgotten the name of our God, Or stretched forth our hands to a strange God,
21Surely God would search it out; For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22But for thy sake we are killed all the day; We are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23Awake! why sleepest thou, O Lord? Arise! cast us not off for ever!
24Wherefore dost thou hide thy face, And forget our affliction and oppression?
25Our soul is bowed down to the dust; Our body cleaveth to the earth.
