Psalms 44:17,18

All this is come upon us All the evils before mentioned, and certainly we have deserved them all; yet have we not forgotten thee Although we cannot excuse ourselves from many other sins, for which thou hast justly punished us, yet, through thy grace, we have kept ourselves from apostacy and idolatry, notwithstanding all examples and provocations. Our heart is not turned back Namely, from thee, or thy worship and service, unto idols, as it follows, Psalms 44:20. But we still adhere to thy religion, although both it and we be thus vilified and persecuted.
