¹³ You have made us a reproach^(A) to our neighbors,^(B)
    the scorn^(C) and derision^(D) of those around us.
¹⁴ You have made us a byword^(E) among the nations;
    the peoples shake their heads^(F) at us.
¹⁵ I live in disgrace^(G) all day long,
    and my face is covered with shame^(H)
16 at the taunts^(I) of those who reproach and revile^(J) me,
    because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.^(K)

¹⁷ All this came upon us,
    though we had not forgotten^(L) you;
    we had not been false to your covenant.
¹⁸ Our hearts had not turned^(M) back;
    our feet had not strayed from your path.
¹⁹ But you crushed^(N) us and made us a haunt for jackals;^(O)
    you covered us over with deep darkness.^(P)

²⁰ If we had forgotten^(Q) the name of our God
    or spread out our hands to a foreign god,^(R)
21 would not God have discovered it,
    since he knows the secrets of the heart?^(S)
22 Yet for your sake we face death all day long;
    we are considered as sheep^(T) to be slaughtered.^(U)

²³ Awake,^(V) Lord! Why do you sleep?^(W)
    Rouse yourself!^(X) Do not reject us forever.^(Y)
24 Why do you hide your face^(Z)
    and forget^(AA) our misery and oppression?^(AB)

²⁵ We are brought down to the dust;^(AC)
    our bodies cling to the ground.
²⁶ Rise up^(AD) and help us;
    rescue^(AE) us because of your unfailing love.^(AF)
