21 would not God search this out?For He knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Yes, for Your sake we are killed all the day long;we are considered like sheep for the slaughter.
23 Awake; why do You sleep, O Lord?Arise; do not reject us 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 cleaves to the earth.
26 Arise, be our help,and redeem us for the sake of Your lovingkindness.
