Psalm 44:20 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 44.

16 at the voice of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy, bent on revenge.

17 All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten You or betrayed Your covenant.

18 Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path.

19 But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness.

20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,

21 would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?

22 Yet for Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

23 Wake up, O Lord! Why are You sleeping? Arise! Do not reject us forever.

24 Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and oppression?
