Psalm 44: A formal complaint
 
Dear God, we wish to complain!
We are doing our best to please you,
we are trying our hardest to do what we should,
but it’s not working -
we are losing battles, we are getting smaller,
we are exhausted.
It feels like you have abandoned us.
Come on, Lord, we can’t do this without you!
If you aren’t fighting for us we might as well give up.
Get up! Come and help us!
We hold you to your promise, for your love never fails!
