16 At the taunt of one who reproaches and reviles, Because of the enemy and the avenger.
17 All this has come on us, Yet have we not forgotten you, Neither have we been false to your covenant.
18 Our heart has not turned back, Neither have our steps declined from your way,
19 That you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, And covered us with the shadow of death.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, Or spread forth our hands to a strange god;
21 Won`t God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Yes, for your sake are we killed all day long. We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.
