American Standard Version

Psalm 44:20-26 American Standard Version (ASV)

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.

22. Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

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

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

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

26. Rise up for our help, And redeem us for thy lovingkindness’ sake.
