Read in context

Psalms 44:19–23 · Berean Standard Bible

19 But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness.

20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,

21 would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?

22 Yet for Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

23 Wake up, O Lord! Why are You sleeping? Arise! Do not reject us forever.
