Psalms
Chapters 44:18-24
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
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?
