21. Would not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22. But for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are reckoned as sheep for slaughter.
23. Awake, why sleepest thou, Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.
24. Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
25. For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
26. Rise up for our help, and redeem us for thy loving-kindness' sake.
