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.
24. Why do You hide Your face,And forget our affliction and our oppression?
25. For our soul is bowed down to the dust;Our body clings to the ground.
26. Arise for our help,And redeem us for Your mercies’ sake.
