Psalm 44:18 Context

◄ Psalm 44:18 ►

Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path.

Context

18Our heart has not turned back,
And our steps have not deviated from Your way,

19Yet You have crushed us in a place of jackals
And covered us with the shadow of death.

20If we had forgotten the name of our God
Or extended our hands to a strange god,

21Would not God find this out?
For He knows the secrets of the heart.

22But for Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

23Arouse Yourself, why do You sleep, O Lord?
Awake, do not reject us forever.

24Why do You hide Your face
And forget our affliction and our oppression?

25For our soul has sunk down into the dust;
Our body cleaves to the earth.

26Rise up, be our help,
And redeem us for the sake of Your lovingkindness.
