Why do you hide from us? Have you forgotten our pain and troubles?
Don’t hide your face from me; don’t think of me as your enemy.
Lord, why are you so far away? Why do you hide when there is trouble?
The wicked think, “God has forgotten us. He doesn’t see what is happening.”
How long will you forget me, Lord? Forever? How long will you hide from me?
Wake up! Come and defend me! My God and Lord, fight for me!

Do not give us, your doves, to those wild animals. Never forget your poor people.
Don’t forget what your enemies said; don’t forget their roar as they rise against you always.
Wake up, wake up, and use your strength, powerful Lord. Wake up as you did in the old times, as you did a long time ago. With your own power, you cut Rahab into pieces and killed that sea monster.
He said, “I will turn away from them and see what will happen to them. They are evil people, unfaithful children.
