⁹ But now you have rejected^(A) and humbled us;^(B)
    you no longer go out with our armies.^(C)
10 You made us retreat^(D) before the enemy,
    and our adversaries have plundered^(E) us.
¹¹ You gave us up to be devoured like sheep^(F)
    and have scattered us among the nations.^(G)
12 You sold your people for a pittance,^(H)
    gaining nothing from their sale.

¹³ You have made us a reproach^(I) to our neighbors,^(J)
    the scorn^(K) and derision^(L) of those around us.
¹⁴ You have made us a byword^(M) among the nations;
    the peoples shake their heads^(N) at us.
¹⁵ I live in disgrace^(O) all day long,
    and my face is covered with shame^(P)
16 at the taunts^(Q) of those who reproach and revile^(R) me,
    because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.^(S)

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

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

²³ Awake,^(AD) Lord! Why do you sleep?^(AE)
    Rouse yourself!^(AF) Do not reject us forever.^(AG)
24 Why do you hide your face^(AH)
    and forget^(AI) our misery and oppression?^(AJ)

²⁵ We are brought down to the dust;^(AK)
    our bodies cling to the ground.
²⁶ Rise up^(AL) and help us;
    rescue^(AM) us because of your unfailing love.^(AN)
