Psalm 44:22-26

Psalm 43 Psalm 45

Psalm 44:22-26 New King James Version (NKJV)

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

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

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

Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever.

our bodies cling to the ground.
²⁶Rise up and help us;
rescue us because of your unfailing love.
