20 We did not forget youor lift our hands in prayerto foreign gods.
21 You would have known itbecause you discoverevery secret thought.
22 We face death all day for you.We are like sheep on their wayto be slaughtered.
23 Wake up! Do something, Lord!Why are you sleeping?Don't desert us forever.
24 Why do you keep looking away?Don't forget our sufferingsand all our troubles.
25 We are flat on the ground,holding on to the dust.
26 Do something! Help us!Show how kind you areand come to our rescue.
