19. But you crushed us in this place where wild dogs live.You covered us with deep darkness.
20. We did not forget our God.We did not lift our hands in prayer to foreign gods.
21. God would have known if we had.He knows what is in our hearts.
22. But for you we are in danger of death all the time.People think we are worth no more than sheep to be killed.
23. Wake up, Lord! Why are you sleeping?Get up! Don’t reject us forever.
24. Why are you hidden from us?Have you forgotten our pain and troubles?
25. We have been pushed down into the dirt.We are flat on the ground.
26. Get up and help us.Because of your love, save us.
