If we have forgotten the name of our God,

or spread out our hands to a strange god,

THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Psalms 44:20 in context

Psalms 44:17–23

All this has come on us,

yet we haven’t forgotten you.

We haven’t been false to your covenant.

Our heart has not turned back,

neither have our steps strayed from your path,

though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals,

and covered us with the shadow of death.

Selected verse

If we have forgotten the name of our God,

or spread out our hands to a strange god,

won’t God search this out?

For he knows the secrets of the heart.

Yes, for your sake we are killed all day long.

We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.

Wake up!

Why do you sleep, Lord?

Arise!

Don’t reject us forever.
