Psalms 44:23

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.

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?

25 For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
