Psalms 44:24 in context
Psalms 44:21–26
21
won’t God search this out?
For he knows the secrets of the heart.
22
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.

Why do you hide your face,
and forget our affliction and our oppression?

For our soul is bowed down to the dust.
Our body clings to the earth.
26
Rise up to help us.
Redeem us for your loving kindness’ sake.
