American Standard Version
"Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? Arise, cast us not off for ever. "
— Psalms 44:23, American Standard Version
“Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.”
“Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise! Don't reject us forever.”
“Rouse yourself! Why do you sleep, O Lord? Wake up! Do not reject us forever!”
“Why are you sleeping, O Lord? awake! and come to our help, do not give us up for ever.”
“Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.”
If we have forgotten the name of our God, Or spread forth our hands to a strange god;
Will not God search this out? For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? Arise, cast us not off for ever.
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
For our soul is bowed down to the dust: Our body cleaveth unto the earth.
Rise up for our help, And redeem us for thy lovingkindness’ sake.
