Psalms

¹⁸We did not turn away from you. We did not stop following you. ¹⁹But you crushed us in this home of jackals. You left us in this place as dark as death. ²⁰Did we forget the name of our God? Did we pray to foreign gods? ²¹If we did, then God knows it, because he knows our deepest secrets. ²²All day long we died for you. We are like sheep being led away to be killed. ²³Lord, wake up! Why are you sleeping? Get up! Don’t ignore us forever! ²⁴Why are you hiding from us? Have you forgotten our pain and troubles?
