Original text and translations
Latin text
Exurge, quare obdormis Domine?
Exurge, et ne repellas in finem:
Quare faciem avertis?
Oblivisceris tribulationem nostram?
This text from the Graduale romanum differs slightly from the version in the (old) vulgate: Ps. 43:24-25
English translation
Awake, O Lord! Why do you sleep?
Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever.
Why do you hide your face
and forget our oppression? (New International Version)
