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.
26 Arise for our help,
And redeem us for Your mercies’ sake.
