A Prayer for God to Act
Commentators explain that the phrase "Lift up thyself" is a powerful and urgent plea for God to act. It's like asking a king to rise from his throne to pronounce judgment or a warrior to rise up to strike a decisive blow. When evil seems to triumph, believers can cry out for God to make His presence and justice known in a tangible way.
