Psalms 44:22

Compare all

20 If we had forgotten the name of our God,
Or ^astretched out our hands to a foreign god,

21 ^aWould not God search this out?
For He knows the secrets of the heart.

22 ^aYet for Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

23 ^aAwake! Why do You sleep, O Lord?
Arise! Do not cast us off forever.

24 ^aWhy do You hide Your face,
And forget our affliction and our oppression?

25 For ^aour soul is bowed down to the dust;
Our body clings to the ground.

Psalms 44:22

For thy sake are we killed all the day long - Because of our attachment to thee and to thy religion, we are exposed to continual death; and some of us fail a daily sacrifice to the persecuting spirit of our enemies, and we all carry our lives continually in our hands. In the same state were the primitive Christians; and St. Paul applies these words to their case, Romans 8:36.
