Wake

So David took the spear and water jug by Saul’s head, and they departed. No one saw them or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up; they all remained asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.

He leaves a glistening wake behind him; one would think the deep had white hair!

I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.

Wake up, O Lord! Why are You sleeping? Arise! Do not reject us forever.

“They struck me, but I feel no pain! They beat me, but I did not know it! When can I wake up to search for another drink?”

Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD. Wake up as in days past, as in generations of old. Was it not You who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced through the dragon?

Their feet run to evil; they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are sinful thoughts; ruin and destruction lie in their wake.

While they are flushed with heat, I will serve them a feast, and I will make them drunk so that they may revel; then they will fall asleep forever and never wake up, declares the LORD.

I will make her princes and wise men drunk, along with her governors, officials, and warriors. Then they will fall asleep forever and not wake up,” declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts.

Wake up, you drunkards, and weep; wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine, for it has been cut off from your mouth.

After He had said this, He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”

…ruin and misery lie in their wake,

And do this, understanding the occasion. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.

So it is said: “Wake up, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

Wake up and strengthen what remains, which is about to die; for I have found your deeds incomplete in the sight of My God.

Remember, then, what you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know the hour when I will come upon you.
