BSB(i)
9 But You have rejected and humbled us; You no longer go forth with our armies.
10 You have made us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have plundered us.
11 You have given us up as sheep to be devoured; You have scattered us among the nations.
12 You sell Your people for nothing; no profit do You gain from their sale.
13 You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us.
14 You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.
15 All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,
16 at the voice of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy, bent on revenge.
17 All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten You or betrayed Your covenant.
18 Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path.
19 But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness.
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?
25 For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.
26 Rise up; be our help! Redeem us on account of Your loving devotion.
