20. If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
21. Shall not God search this out? for he knows the secrets of the heart.
22. Yea, for your sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23. Awake, why sleep you, O Lord? arise, cast us not off forever.
24. Why hide you your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?
25. For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our body cleaves unto the earth.
26. Arise for our help, and redeem us for your mercies' sake.
