17All this has come upon us,
though we have not forgotten You
or betrayed Your covenant.
18Our hearts have not turned back;
our steps have not strayed from Your path.
19But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals;
You have covered us with deepest darkness.
20If we had forgotten the name of our God
or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
21would not God have discovered,
since He knows the secrets of the heart?
— Psalm 44:17-21
