Psalm 44:17-19

Come to Our Help

17 e All this has come upon us,
though we have not forgotten you,
and we have not been false to your covenant.
18 Our heart has not turned back,
nor have our f steps g departed from your way;
19 yet you have h broken us in the place of i jackals
and covered us with j the shadow of death.
