All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten You, and we have not been false to your covenant. Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from Your way; yet You have broken us in the place of jackals and covered us with the shadow of death. If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god, would not God discover this? For He knows the secrets of the heart. Yet for Your sake we are killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.
Though we trip and backslide, You are there to forgive and restore – ever-loving, ever patient, ever-restoring Lord and Master. We know that You are the Faithful One, Who purchased us with His blood, and Who will not let us go. We gladly suffer persecution for the sake of Your Name.
