Psalm 44:22

Israel's Complaint

²¹ Would not, God, have searched into this, Seeing that, he, knoweth the secrets of the heart? ²² Surely, for thy sake, have we been slain all the day, We have been accounted as sheep for slaughter. ²³ Awake thou! wherefore shouldst thou sleep, O Lord? Bestir thee! do not reject us altogether!
