Psalms 44:14-24

14 You make us a byword among the nations; the peoples jeer at us, shaking their heads.
15 All day long my disgrace is on my mind, and shame has covered my face
16 at the sound of those who revile and insult, at the sight of the enemy bent on revenge.
17 Though all this came on us, we did not forget you; we have not been false to your covenant;
18 Our hearts have not turned back, and our steps did not turn away from your path,
19 though you pressed us into a lair of jackals and covered us with death-dark gloom.
20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
21 wouldn't God have discovered this, since he knows the secrets of the heart?
22 For your sake we are put to death all day long, we are considered sheep to be slaughtered.
23 Wake up, Adonai! Why are you asleep? Rouse yourself! Don't thrust us off forever.
24 Why are you turning your face away, forgetting our pain and misery?
