Psalm 44:14-26

New International Version

¹⁴ You have made us a byword^(A) among the nations;
    the peoples shake their heads^(B) at us.
¹⁵ I live in disgrace^(C) all day long,
    and my face is covered with shame^(D)
16 at the taunts^(E) of those who reproach and revile^(F) me,
    because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.^(G)

¹⁷ All this came upon us,
    though we had not forgotten^(H) you;
    we had not been false to your covenant.
¹⁸ Our hearts had not turned^(I) back;
    our feet had not strayed from your path.
¹⁹ But you crushed^(J) us and made us a haunt for jackals;^(K)
    you covered us over with deep darkness.^(L)

²⁰ If we had forgotten^(M) the name of our God
    or spread out our hands to a foreign god,^(N)
21 would not God have discovered it,
    since he knows the secrets of the heart?^(O)
22 Yet for your sake we face death all day long;
    we are considered as sheep^(P) to be slaughtered.^(Q)

²³ Awake,^(R) Lord! Why do you sleep?^(S)
    Rouse yourself!^(T) Do not reject us forever.^(U)
24 Why do you hide your face^(V)
    and forget^(W) our misery and oppression?^(X)

²⁵ We are brought down to the dust;^(Y)
    our bodies cling to the ground.
²⁶ Rise up^(Z) and help us;
    rescue^(AA) us because of your unfailing love.^(AB)
