Psalms 44:18

from the way of his commandments, from the paths of holiness, truth, and faith, being directed and guided therein by the counsel of the Lord, and kept and preserved by his power.

18 Our heart has not turned back, Neither have our steps declined from your way,

19 That you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, And covered us with the shadow of death.

20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, Or spread forth our hands to a strange god;
