20 If we had forgotten the name of our God,Or stretched out our hands to a foreign god,
21 Would not God search this out?For He knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Yet for Your sake we are killed all day long;We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
23 Awake! Why do You sleep, O Lord?Arise! Do not cast us off 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 clings to the ground.
26 Arise for our help,And redeem us for Your mercies’ sake.
