New King James Version

Psalms 44:19-23 New King James Version (NKJV)

19. But You have severely broken us in the place of jackals,And covered us with the shadow of death.

20. If we had forgotten the name of our God,Or stretched out our hands to a foreign god,

21. Would not God search this out?For He knows the secrets of the heart.

22. Yet for Your sake we are killed all day long;We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

23. Awake! Why do You sleep, O Lord?Arise! Do not cast us off forever.
