19. But You have crushed us in a haunt of jackalsand have covered us with deepest darkness.
20. If we had forgotten the name of our Godand spread out our hands to a foreign god,
21. wouldn’t God have found this out,since He knows the secrets of the heart?
22. Because of You we are slain all day long;we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.
23. Wake up, Lord! Why are You sleeping?Get up! Don’t reject us forever!
24. Why do You hide Yourselfand forget our affliction and oppression?
25. For we have sunk down to the dust;our bodies cling to the ground.
26. Rise up! Help us!Redeem us because of Your faithful love.
