22  Yet ^ofor your sake we are killed all the day long;

we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.

23  ^pAwake! Why are you sleeping, O Lord?

Rouse yourself! ^qDo not reject us forever!

24  Why ^rdo you hide your face?

Why do you forget our affliction and oppression?

25  For our ^ssoul is bowed down to the dust;

our belly clings to the ground.

26  Rise up; ^tcome to our help!

^uRedeem us for the sake of your steadfast love!
