22 Yet for your sake we face death all day long;
    we are considered as sheep(A) to be slaughtered.(B)

23 Awake,(C) Lord! Why do you sleep?(D)
    Rouse yourself!(E) Do not reject us forever.(F)
24 Why do you hide your face(G)
    and forget(H) our misery and oppression?(I)

25 We are brought down to the dust;(J)
    our bodies cling to the ground.
26 Rise up(K) and help us;
    rescue(L) us because of your unfailing love.(M)

22 (A)Yet for Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

23 (B)Awake! Why do You sleep, O Lord?
Arise! Do not cast us off forever.
24 (C)Why do You hide Your face,
And forget our affliction and our oppression?
25 For (D)our soul is bowed down to the [a]dust;
Our body clings to the ground.
26 Arise for our help,
And redeem us for Your mercies’ sake.
