19 But you crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals;you covered us over with deep darkness.
20 If we had forgotten the name of our Godor spread out our hands to a foreign god,
21 would not God have discovered it,since he knows the secrets of the heart?
22 Yet for your sake we face death all day long;we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
23 Awake, Lord! Why do you sleep?Rouse yourself ! Do not reject us for ever.
24 Why do you hide your faceand forget our misery and oppression?
25 We are brought down to the dust;our bodies cling to the ground.
