22. Yet for your sake we face death all day long;we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
23. Awake, Lord! Why do you sleep?Rouse yourself ! Do not reject us for ever.
24. Why do you hide your faceand forget our misery and oppression?
25. We are brought down to the dust;our bodies cling to the ground.
26. Rise up and help us;rescue us because of your unfailing love.
