Awake, why sleep you, O Lord? arise, cast us not off forever.
For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, says the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that sneers at him.
Stir up yourself, and awake to my defense, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
But you have cast off, and put us to shame; and go not forth with our armies.
Arise, O LORD, in your anger, lift up yourself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that you have commanded.
[A maschil of Asaph.] O God, why have you cast us off forever? why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?
Will the Lord cast off forever? and will he be favorable no more?
Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouts by reason of wine.
LORD, why cast you off my soul? why hide you your face from me?
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Are you not him who has cut Rahab, and wounded the sea monster?
And he was in the rear of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awoke him, and said unto him, Teacher, care you not that we perish?
