American Standard Version
"Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And forgettest our affliction and our oppression? "
— Psalms 44:24, American Standard Version
“Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?”
“Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?”
“Why do you look the other way, and ignore the way we are oppressed and mistreated?”
“Why is your face covered, and why do you give no thought to our trouble and our cruel fate?”
“Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?”
Will not God search this out? For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? Arise, cast us not off for ever.
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
For our soul is bowed down to the dust: Our body cleaveth unto the earth.
Rise up for our help, And redeem us for thy lovingkindness’ sake.
