Rav Pinchas says, David in the Psalms calls five times upon the Holy One — blessed be He! — to arise. (1.) < Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God!* (Ps. iii. 7). (2.) ( Arise, O Lord, in Thine anger! (Ps. vii. 6). (3.) ( Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail!* (Ps. ix. 19). (4.) ( Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up Thine hand: forget not the humble! (Ps. x. 12). (5.) ( Arise, O Lord; disappoint him! y But the Holy One — blessed be He! — said unto David, My son, though thou call upon Me many a time to arise, I will not arise. But when do I arise? When thou seest the poor oppressed and the needy sighing, then will I arise. y This explains what is written (Ps. xii. 5), " For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord.®
