At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you because of your righteous judgments.
I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep your righteous judgments.
Righteous are you, O LORD, and upright are your judgments.
I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in your word.
Seven times a day do I praise you because of your righteous judgments.
I will praise you with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned your righteous judgments.
I know, O LORD, that your judgments are right, and that you in faithfulness have afflicted me.
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
Yet the LORD will command his loving kindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer to the God of my life.
And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God: and the prisoners heard them.
Why the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
And what nation is there so great, that has statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
