At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You, because of Your righteous judgments.

i1 [A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.] i0 par O God, You are my Mighty God. I will seek You earnestly; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You, as in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

when I remember You upon my bed and meditate on You in the night watches.

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O Mighty God! How great is the sum of them!

If I should count them, they are more numerous than the sand; when I awake, I am still with You.

Arise, cry out in the night. At the beginning of the watches, pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands toward Him for the life of your children who faint from hunger at the head of every street.

Now it came to pass in those days that He went out into the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
