This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Awake; either,
1. Out of the sleep of security. Or,
2. Out of the sleep of death. Heb. Rouse up thyself; come out of that forlorn and disconsolate condition in which thou hast so long been. This sense suits best with the following words. Stand up upon thy feet, O thou who hast fallen, and been thrown down to the ground.
Which hast drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury; which hast been sorely afflicted; for so this metaphor is used. Psa_75:8 Jer_25:15, &c.; Jer_49:12.
The cup of trembling; which striketh him that drinketh it with a deadly horror.
Wrung them out; drunk every drop of, it. See Poole "Psa_75:8".
