Desperate Plea for Divine Intervention
23
Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? Arise, cast us not off for ever.
24
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
25
For our soul is bowed down to the dust: Our body cleaveth unto the earth.
26
Rise up for our help, And redeem us for thy lovingkindness’ sake.
