Awake — Heb. Rouse up thyself: come out of that forlorn condition in which thou hast so long been. Stand up — Upon thy feet, O thou who hast been thrown to the ground. Drunk — Who hast been sorely afflicted. The cup — Which strikes him that drinks it with deadly horror. And wrung — Drunk every drop of it.
