Psalms 44:20-26

²⁰If the name of our God has gone out of our minds, or if our hands have been stretched out to a strange god,

²¹Will not God make search for it? for he sees the secrets of the heart.

²²Truly, because of you we are put to death every day; we are numbered like sheep for destruction.

²³Why are you sleeping, O Lord? awake! and come to our help, do not give us up for ever.

²⁴Why is your face covered, and why do you give no thought to our trouble and our cruel fate?

²⁵For our souls are crushed down to the dust: our bodies are stretched out on the earth.

²⁶Up! and come to our help, and give us salvation because of your mercy.
