Psalm 44:19-23 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

19. But you crushed us and left us to the wild dogs. You covered us over with deep darkness.

20. We didn't forget our God. We didn't spread out our hands in prayer to a strange god.

21. If we had, God would have discovered it. He knows the secrets of our hearts.

22. But because of you, we face death all day long. We are considered as sheep to be killed.

23. Lord, wake up! Why are you sleeping? Get up! Don't say no to us forever.
