waking up

¹⁴Because of this, it is said: “You who are sleeping: awaken, and rise up from the dead, and so shall the Christ enlighten you.”

⁹How long will you slumber, you lazy one? When will you rise up from your sleep? ¹⁰You will sleep a little, you will slumber a little, you will fold your hands a little to sleep, ¹¹and then destitution will meet with you, like a traveler, and poverty, like an armed man. Yet truly, if you would be diligent, then your harvest will arrive like a fountain, and destitution will flee far from you.

⁹Rise up, my glory. Rise up, psaltery and harp. I will arise in early morning.

⁴The Lord has given me a learned tongue, so that I would know how to uphold with a word, one who has weakened. He rises in the morning, he rises to my ear in the morning, so that I may heed him like a teacher.

¹¹And we know the present time, that now is the hour for us to rise up from sleep. For already our salvation is closer than when we first believed.

⁴For to you, I will pray. In the morning, Lord, you will hear my voice.

³⁵And rising up very early, departing, he went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed.

¹³Do not love sleep, lest deprivation oppress you. Open your eyes and be satisfied with bread.

³Rise up, my glory. Rise up, Psalter and harp. I will arise in early morning.

⁸Make me hear your mercy in the morning. For I have hoped in you. Make known to me the way that I should walk. For I have lifted up my soul to you.

³⁵Therefore, be vigilant, for you do not know when the lord of the house may arrive: in the evening, or in the middle of the night, or at first light, or in the morning. ³⁶Otherwise, when he will have arrived unexpectedly, he may find you sleeping. ³⁷But what I say to you, I say to all: Be vigilant.”

¹⁵But as for me, I will appear before your sight in justice. I will be satisfied when your glory appears.

⁶And the helmsman approached him, and he said to him, “Why are you weighed down with sleep? Rise, call upon your God, so perhaps God will be mindful of us and we might not perish.”

¹Rise up to be illuminated, O Jerusalem! For your light has arrived, and the glory of the Lord has risen over you.

¹⁸I will number them, and they will be more numerous than the sand. I rose up, and I am still with you.

¹⁰Lo, he stands beyond our wall, gazing through the windows, watching through the lattices.

¹⁹Your dead shall live. My slain will rise again. Be awakened, and give praise, you who live in the dust! For your dew is the dew of the light, and you shall be dragged down to the land of the giants, to ruination.

¹⁵And she has risen in the night, and given a prey to her household, and provisions to her maids.
