Verse in context — Psalms 44

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?

For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
