I lie down and sleep;
I wake again because the Lord sustains me.

Be gracious to me, Lord, for I am weak;
heal me, Lord, for my bones are shaking;

Wake up and rise to my defense,
to my cause, my God and my Lord!

For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah.God, we have heard with our ears—
our ancestors have told us—
the work You accomplished in their days,
in days long ago:

Wake up, Lord! Why are You sleeping?
Get up! Don’t reject us forever!

God, the One enthroned from long ago,
will hear and will humiliate themSelah
because they do not change
and do not fear God.

Wake up, my soul!
Wake up, harp and lyre!
I will wake up the dawn.

and faithful love belongs to You, Lord.
For You repay each according to his works.

They encourage each other in an evil plan;
they talk about hiding traps and say,
“Who will see them?”

Remember Your congregation,
which You purchased long ago
and redeemed as the tribe for Your own possession.
Remember Mount Zion where You dwell.

I think of God; I groan;
I meditate; my spirit becomes weak.Selah

Do not hold past sins against us;
let Your compassion come to us quickly,
for we have become weak.

They go from strength to strength;
each appears before God in Zion.

“I will mention those who know Me:
Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Cush—
each one was born there.”

Long ago You established the earth,
and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

Wake up, harp and lyre!
I will wake up the dawn.

My knees are weak from fasting,
and my body is emaciated.

Lord, I remember Your judgments from long ago
and find comfort.

I am awake through each watch of the night
to meditate on Your promise.

Long ago I learned from Your decrees
that You have established them forever.

Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan,
and all the kings of Canaan.

and Og king of Bashan—
        His love is eternal.

If I counted them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand;
when I wake up, I am still with You.

Although my spirit is weak within me,
You know my way.

Along this path I travel
they have hidden a trap for me.

Listen to my cry,
for I am very weak.
Rescue me from those who pursue me,
for they are too strong for me.

My spirit is weak within me;
my heart is overcome with dismay.
