"You are my King and my God...and we will praise your name forever"...But now...v.9 you have rejected us, humbled us, given us defeat, plundered, devoured, and scattered us. Sold your people for pittance...gaining nothing. We are a reproach, are scorned, a derision( anyone know what that means?) Our name was but a byword, all we know is disgrace and shame etc, etc........
"All this happened to us, though we had not forgotten you or been false to your covenant." What's with this?? "We are crushed, in deep darkness, Yet for your sake we face death all day, we're like terrified sheep, heading for the slaughter."
Translation by LM...God, do you even see or care? I have faithfully followed your ways for so many years. Always trusted you. I never turned back or strayed from You but now, You turn your back away from me when I'm crying my heart out? Why punish me by hiding your face. Why are You silent when I most need You? UUUhoo...do You see me in my misery and oppression? Ok, I'm down!! I can't sink any deeper than the ground. I'm covered in dirt and dust. What more? I don't understand yet....
v.26 "Rise up and help us; redeem us because of your unfailing love."
WOW!! So much for the prosperity gospel!??
