Before sunrise I call to you for help; I place my hope in your promise.

Seven times each day I thank you for your righteous judgments.

May the LORD show his constant love during the day, so that I may have a song at night, a prayer to the God of my life.

Very early the next morning, long before daylight, Jesus got up and left the house. He went out of town to a lonely place, where he prayed.

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.

As I learn your righteous judgments, I will praise you with a pure heart.

I know that your judgments are righteous, LORD, and that you punished me because you are faithful.

I will keep my solemn promise to obey your just instructions.

You are righteous, LORD, and your laws are just.

Reverence for the LORD is good; it will continue forever. The judgments of the LORD are just; they are always fair.

No other nation, no matter how great, has laws so just as those that I have taught you today.

So then, the Law itself is holy, and the commandment is holy, right, and good.
