Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger;\par\tab Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries,\par\tab And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.
{\b Maschil of Asaph.}\par\par\tab O God, why hast thou cast {\i us} off for ever?\par\tab Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not thou that didst cut Rahab in pieces, that didst pierce the monster?
Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy,\par\tab Now will I arise, saith Jehovah;\par\tab I will set him in the safety he panteth for.
