Contextual Overview

¹⁷ [And though] all this be come vpon vs: [yet] we do not forget thee, nor shewe our selues to be false in thy couenaunt. ¹⁸ Our heart is not turned backe, neither our steppes be declined out of thy pathes: ¹⁹ no not when thou hast smitten vs in the place of dragons, and couered vs with the shadowe of death. ²⁰ If we had forgotten the name of our Lorde, and holden vp our handes to any straunge god: ²¹ woulde not God searche it out? for he knoweth the very secretes of the heart. ²² For thy sake also are we kylled all the day long: and are counted as sheepe appoynted to be slayne. ²³ Stirre vp O Lorde, why slepest thou? awake & be not absent from vs for euer: ²⁴ wherfore hydest thou thy face, and forgettest our miserie and tribulation? ²⁵ For our soule is brought lowe vnto the dust: our belly cleaueth vnto ye grounde. ²⁶ Aryse vp thou our ayde, and redeeme vs: for thy louyng kindnesse sake.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord?.... Not that sleep properly falls upon God: the Keeper of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps; his eyes are always upon his people; he never withdraws them from them, and he watches over them night and day: but sometimes he seems and is thought to be asleep; as when wicked men flourish and triumph over the righteous, and go on in sin with impunity; when their judgment seems to linger, and their damnation to slumber, though it does not; and when the saints are under sore afflictions, and the Lord seems to disregard them, and does not appear for their deliverance; and when things are as when the disciples were in a storm, and Christ was asleep, to whom they said, "carest thou not that we perish?" and the Lord may be said to awake, and it is what is here prayed for, when he stirs up himself and takes vengeance on his enemies, as he will before long on antichrist and his followers; and when he takes in hand the cause and judgment of his people, and pleads it thoroughly, and delivers them out of the hands of all their oppressors, and gives them the dominion and kingdom under the whole heaven; see Isaiah 2:9;

arise; to revenge the blood of his people, and to have mercy on his Zion;

cast [us] not off for ever; as he might seem to do, by suffering their enemies to triumph over them; but in reality he does not; much less with loathing and abhorrence, as the word r used signifies, since his church is his Hephzibah, in whom he delights, Isaiah 62:4; and still less for ever, since his love to them is from everlasting to everlasting, and they shall be for ever with him; Isaiah 62:4- :.

r אל תזנח "ne abjicias cum fastidio", Gejerus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Awake, why sleepest thou? - This is a solemn and earnest appeal to God to interpose in their behalf, as if he were “asleep,” or were regardless of their sufferings. Compare Psalms 3:7, note; Psalms 7:6, note; Psalms 35:23, note.

Arise, cast us not off for ever - Do not forsake us always. Compare Psalms 44:9. He had seemed to have cast them off; to have forgotten them; to have forsaken them utterly, and the psalmist, in the name of the people, calls on him not entirely to abandon them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 44:23. Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? — That is, Why dost thou appear as one asleep, who is regardless of the safety of his friends. This is a freedom of speech which can only be allowed to inspired men; and in their mouths it is always to be figuratively understood.
