Psalms 44:22

Read in context

Psalms 44:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

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