Psalms 44:17-26

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

17All this has come upon us, but we have not forgotten You,
And we have not dealt falsely with Your covenant.
18Our heart has not turned back,
And our steps have not deviated from Your way,
19Yet You have crushed us in a place of jackals
And covered us with deep darkness.
20If we had forgotten the name of our God
Or extended our hands to a strange god,
21Would God not find this out?
For He knows the secrets of the heart.
22But for Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.
23Wake Yourself up, why do You sleep, Lord?
Awake, do not reject us forever.
24Why do You hide Your face
And forget our affliction and oppression?
25For our souls have sunk down into the dust;
Our bodies cling to the earth.
26Rise up, be our help,
And redeem us because of Your mercy.
