14. You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the people.
15. My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face has covered me,
16. For the voice of him that reproaches and blasphemes; because of the enemy and avenger.
17. All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten you, neither have we dealt falsely in your covenant.
18. Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from your way;
19. Though you have severely broken us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
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.
