Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
Read Chapter 13
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
4. "Look on me, and hear me, O Lord my God" (ver. 3). "Look on me," refers to what was said, "How long" dost "Thou turn away Thy face from me." "Hear," refers to what was said," How long wilt Thou forget me to the end? Lighten mine eyes, that I sleep not in death." The eyes of the heart must be understood, that they be not closed by the pleasurable eclipse of sin.
