19. But you crushed us in this home of jackals. You left us in this place as dark as death.
20. Did we forget the name of our God? Did we pray to foreign gods?
21. If we did, then God knows it, because he knows our deepest secrets.
22. All day long we died for you. We are like sheep being led away to be killed.
23. Lord, wake up! Why are you sleeping? Get up! Don’t ignore us forever!
24. Why are you hiding from us? Have you forgotten our pain and troubles?
25. We have been pushed down into the dirt. We are lying face down in the dust.
