23 Rise, Lord, cast us not ever off; Awake [for us;] why dost thou sleep?
24 Wherefore thus hidest thou thy face, Forgetting [this] our [great] distress;
25 And lookest not on our miseries, [Nor them] that do our souls oppress.
25 And look'st not on our miseries, [Nor them] that do our souls oppress.
26 Our soul is bowed down to dust, To earth our [very] bellies cleave: Arise, Lord, for thy mercies sake, And us [do thou] redeem and save.
