18 Back from thy way our heart not turn'd;our steps no straying made;
19 Though us thou brak'st in dragons' place,and cover'dst with death's shade.
20 If we God's name forgot, or stretch'dto a strange god our hands,
21 Shall not God search this out? for heheart's secrets understands.
22 Yea, for thy sake we're kill'd all day,counted as slaughter-sheep.
23 Rise, Lord, cast us not ever off;awake, why dost thou sleep?
24 O wherefore hidest thou thy face?forgett'st our cause distress'd,
