{\i Yet} Jehovah will command his lovingkindness in the day-time;\par\tab And in the night his song shall be with me,\par\tab {\i Even} a prayer unto the God of my life.
Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches;\par\tab Pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord:\par\tab Lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.\par
I was asleep, but my heart waked:\par\tab It is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, {\i saying},\par\tab Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled;\par\tab For my head is filled with dew,\par\tab My locks with the drops of the night.\par
Yea, he would have allured thee out of distress\par\tab Into a broad place, where there is no straitness;\par\tab And that which is set on thy table would be full of fatness.\par
