I praise you, LORD, for being my guide. Even in the darkest night, your teachings fill my mind.
I lie awake at night, thinking of your promises.
Even in the night I think about you, LORD, and I obey your Law.
I will do right and praise you by learning to respect your perfect laws.
You know my heart, and even during the night you have tested me and found me innocent. I have made up my mind never to tell a lie.
I cry out day and night, but you don't answer, and I can never rest.
Every day, you are kind, and at night you give me a song as my prayer to you, the living LORD God.
I think about you before I go to sleep, and my thoughts turn to you during the night.
Once I was bitter and brokenhearted.
Your advice has been my guide, and later you will welcome me in glory.
In days filled with trouble, I search for you. And at night I tirelessly lift my hands in prayer, refusing comfort.
Each night my mind is flooded with questions:
I am strong, and I offer sensible advice and sound judgment.
Throughout the night, my heart searches for you, because your decisions show everyone on this earth how to live right.
with this message: People of Israel, I am the holy LORD God, the one who rescues you. For your own good, I teach you, and I lead you along the right path.
The LORD God gives me the right words to encourage the weary. Each morning he awakens me eager to learn his teaching;
You plant them like trees; you let them prosper and produce fruit. Yet even when they praise you, they don't mean it.
But I know your deeds and your thoughts, and I will make sure you get what you deserve.
About that time Jesus went off to a mountain to pray, and he spent the whole night there.
I will even kill her followers. Then all the churches will see that I know everyone's thoughts and feelings. I will treat each of you as you deserve.
