Exsurge; quare obdormis Domine?
exurge, et ne repellas in finem.
Quare faciem tuam avertis?
Oblivisceris tribulationem nostram?
Exsurge, Domine, adjuva nos,
et libera[redime] nos [propter nomen tuum].

Ps. Deus auribus nostris audivimus
patres nostri annuntiaverunt nostri.

44:23  Up, Lord, why sleepest thou: awake,
and be not absent from us for ever.
44:24  Wherefore hidest thou thy face:
and forgettest our trouble?
44:26  Arise, Lord, and help us:
and deliver us [for thy name's sake].
