Psalms:44:9-26

* But thou hast cast off , and put us to shame ; and goest not forth with our armies . * Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy : and they which hate us spoil for themselves . * Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat ma #akal #; and hast scattered us among the heathen . * Thou sellest thy people for nought , and dost not increase thy wealth by their price . * Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours , a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us . * Thou makest us a byword among the heathen , a shaking of the head among the people . * My confusion is continually before me , and the shame of my face hath covered me , * For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth ; by reason of the enemy and avenger . * All this is come upon us ; yet have we not forgotten thee , neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant . * Our heart is not turned back , neither have our steps declined from thy way ; * Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons , and covered us with the shadow of death . * If we have forgotten the name of our God , or stretched out our hands to a strange god ; * Shall not God search this out ? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart . * Yea , for thy sake are we killed all the day long ; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter . * Awake , why sleepest thou , O Lord ? arise , cast us not off for ever . * Wherefore hidest thou thy face , and forgettest our affliction and our oppression ? * For our soul is bowed down to the dust : our belly cleaveth unto the earth . * Arise for our help , and redeem us for thy mercies sake .
