Like a dream when one awakes, O Lord, when you rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms.
He will fly away like a dream and not be found; he will be chased away like a vision of the night.
Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a strong man shouting because of wine.
And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, all that fight against her and her stronghold and distress her, shall be like a dream, a vision of the night. As when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he is eating, and awakes with his hunger not satisfied, or as when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he is drinking, and awakes faint, with his thirst not quenched, so shall the multitude of all the nations be that fight against Mount Zion.
You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning:
Surely a man goes about as a shadow! Surely for nothing they are in turmoil; man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!
Arise, O Lord, in your anger; lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies; awake for me; you have appointed a judgment.
