13
(43-14) Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.
14
(43-15) Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: a shaking of the head among the people.
15
(43-16) All the day long my shame is before me: and the confusion of my face hath covered me,
16
(43-17) At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: at the face of the enemy and persecutor.
17
(43-18) All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: and we have not done wickedly in thy covenant.
18
(43-19) And our heart hath not turned back: neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.
19
(43-20) For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: and the shadow of death hath covered us.
20
(43-21) If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god:
21
(43-22) Shall not God search out these things: for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22
(43-22) Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long: we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23
(43-23) Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, and cast us not off to the end.
