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.
24
(43-24) Why turnest thou thy face away? and forgettest our want and our trouble?
25
(43-25) For our soul is humbled down to the dust: our belly cleaveth to the earth.
26
(43-26) Arise, O Lord, help us and redeem us for thy name’s sake.
