Psalm 44:23

The Scriptures 1998

Awake! Why do You sleep, O יהוה ? Arise! Do not reject us forever.

See the chapter Copy

Then יהוה awoke as one asleep, As a mighty man who shouts because of wine.

Arise, O יהוה, in Your displeasure; Lift Yourself up against the rage of my adversaries, And awake for me! You shall command judgment!

O Elohim, why do You forever reject us? Why does Your displeasure smoke Against the sheep of Your pasture?

Stir up Yourself and awake to my right-ruling – To my cause, my Elohim and my Master.

And He was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. And they woke Him up and said to Him, “Teacher, is it no concern to You that we perish?”

Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of יהוה! Awake as in days of old, everlasting generations. Was it not You who cut Rahaḇ

יהוה, why do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me?

Would יהוה reject forever, And never again be pleased?

Yet You have rejected us and put us to shame, And You do not go with our armies.

“Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, I now arise,” says יהוה, “I set in safety – he pants for it.”
