^{9 Ref} But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, And don't go out with our armies.

^{10 Ref} You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take spoil for themselves.

^{11 Ref} You have made us like sheep for food, And have scattered us among the nations.

^{12 Ref} You sell your people for nothing, And have gained nothing from their sale.

^{13 Ref} You make us a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.

^{14 Ref} You make us a byword among the nations, A shaking of the head among the peoples.

^{15 Ref} All day long my dishonor is before me, And shame covers my face,

^{16 Ref} At the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, Because of the enemy and the avenger.

^{17 Ref} All this has come on us, Yet have we not forgotten you, Neither have we been false to your covenant.

^{18 Ref} Our heart has not turned back, Neither have our steps strayed from your path,

^{19 Ref} Though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, And covered us with the shadow of death.

^{20 Ref} If we have forgotten the name of our God, Or spread forth our hands to a strange god;

^{21 Ref} Won't God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.

^{22 Ref} Yes, for your sake we are killed all day long. We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.

^{23 Ref} Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise! Don't reject us forever.

^{24 Ref} Why do you hide your face, And forget our affliction and our oppression?

^{25 Ref} For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our body cleaves to the earth.

^{26 Ref} Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness' sake.
