19. Our hearts have not turned back,nor have our steps strayed from your path.
20. Yet you have left us crushed,desolate in a place of jackals;you have covered us with a shadow of death.
21. If we had forgotten the name of our God,stretched out our hands to another god,
22. Would not God have discovered this,God who knows the secrets of the heart?
23. For you we are slain all the day long,considered only as sheep to be slaughtered.
24. Awake! Why do you sleep, O Lord?Rise up! Do not reject us forever!
25. Why do you hide your face;why forget our pain and misery?
26. For our soul has been humiliated in the dust;our belly is pressed to the earth.
27. Rise up, help us!Redeem us in your mercy.
