Psalm 44:22-26

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²²Because of you we are being killed all day long,
and accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

²³Rouse yourself! Why do you sleep, O Lord?
    Awake, do not cast us off for ever!
²⁴Why do you hide your face?
    Why do you forget our affliction and oppression?
²⁵For we sink down to the dust;
    our bodies cling to the ground.
²⁶Rise up, come to our help.
    Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love.
