- If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
- Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
- Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
- Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.
- Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

- If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
- would not God have discovered it, since he knows the secrets of the heart?
- Yet for your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
- Awake, O Lord! Why do you sleep? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever.
- Why do you hide your face and forget our misery and oppression?
