Verse 23 is found in chapter 44 of Psalms. Psalm 44 is a communal lament based on the memory of ancient victories and the present experience of defeat. Israel remembers that its ancestors received the land through God’s hand, not through their own strength. Precisely for this reason, the present crisis is perplexing: the people claim not to have deliberately abandoned the Lord. The prayer ends by asking God to awaken and act according to his mercy.

Denn wir werden ja um deinetwillen täglich erwürgt und sind geachtet wie Schlachtschafe.
Despierta; ¿por qué duermes, Señor? Despierta, no te alejes para siempre.
¡Despierta! ¿Por qué duermes, Señor? ¡Levántate, no nos rechaces para siempre!
Réveille-toi! Pourquoi dors-tu, Seigneur? Réveille-toi! ne nous repousse pas à jamais!
Risvegliati; perchè dormi, Signore? Destati, non iscacciarci in perpetuo.
Desperta, por que dormes, Senhor? Acorda, não nos rejeites para sempre.
主啊,求你睡醒,為何儘睡呢? 求你醒來,不要永遠丟棄我們!
