18 All this came upon us, though we did not forget You, nor were we false to Your covenant.
19 Our heart did not turn back, nor did our steps stray from Your path.
20 Yet You crushed us in a place of jackals, covered us with the shadow of death.
21 If we had forgotten the Name of our God or stretched our hands to a foreign god,
22 would God not have discovered it? For He knows the secrets of the heart.
23 But for Your sake we are slain all day. We are counted as sheep for slaughter.
24 Awake! Why do you sleep, my Lord? Wake up! Do not cast us off forever.
