^23 (A)Awake! Why do You sleep, O Lord?
Arise! Do not cast us off forever.

⁶ Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;
^(A)Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies;
^(B)Rise up ^[a]for me to the judgment You have commanded!

^9 (A)Awake, awake, ^(B)put on strength,
O arm of the Lord!
Awake ^(C)as in the ancient days,
In the generations of old.
^(D)Are You not the arm that cut ^(E)Rahab apart,
And wounded the ^(F)serpent?

⁵ I cried out to You, O Lord:
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.

^(A)Awake to help me, and behold!
