The church, in memory of former favors7. complains of her present evils 17. professing her integrity, 24. she fervently prays for helpfulness Awake The psalmist begins with a fervent plea for God to "Awake." This word, in the Hebrew root "עוּר" (ur), conveys a sense of stirring or rousing from sleep. It is a powerful metaphor, suggesting that God appears to be inactive or distant in the face of Israel's suffering. Historically, this reflects moments when the Israelites felt abandoned, yet it also serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the belief that He is always present, even when He seems silent. The call to "Awake" is a cry for divine intervention and a return to the active presence of God in their lives. O Lord! Why do You sleep? Do not reject us forever Parallel Commentaries ...
