Texts -- Psalms 44:17-26 (NET)

Context
44:17 All this has happened to us, even though we have not rejected you or violated your covenant with us. 44:18 We have not been unfaithful , nor have we disobeyed your commands . 44:19 Yet you have battered us, leaving us a heap of ruins overrun by wild dogs ; you have covered us with darkness . 44:20 If we had rejected our God , and spread out our hands in prayer to another god , 44:21 would not God discover it , for he knows one’s thoughts ? 44:22 Yet because of you we are killed all day long; we are treated like sheep at the slaughtering block. 44:23 Rouse yourself! Why do you sleep , O Lord ? Wake up ! Do not reject us forever ! 44:24 Why do you look the other way , and ignore the way we are oppressed and mistreated ? 44:25 For we lie in the dirt , with our bellies pressed to the ground . 44:26 Rise up and help us! Rescue us because of your loyal love !
