[9] But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. [10] Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves. [11] Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen. [12] Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price. [13] Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about [14] Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. [15] My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered [16] For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. [17] All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. [18] Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; [19] Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. [20] If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; [21] Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. [22] Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. [23] Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever. [24] Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? [25] For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth. [26] Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
