43:16. All the day long my shame is before me: and the confusion of my face hath covered me,
43:17. At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: at the face of the enemy and persecutor.
43:18. All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: and we have not done wickedly in thy covenant.
43:19. And our heart hath not turned back: neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.
43:20. For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: and the shadow of death hath covered us.
43:21. If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god:
43:22. Shall not God search out these things: for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long: we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
43:23. Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, and cast us not off to the end.
43:24. Why turnest thou thy face away? and forgettest our want and our trouble?
43:25. For our soul is humbled down to the dust: our belly cleaveth to the earth.
