My eyes are wide-open throughout the nighttime hours to reflect on your word.
I want to reflect on your guiding principles and study your ways.
At midnight I wake up to give thanks to you for the regulations, which are based on your righteousness.
O God, you are my God. At dawn I search for you. My soul thirsts for you. My body longs for you in a dry, parched land where there is no water.
As I lie on my bed, I remember you. Through the long hours of the night, I think about you.
Get up! Cry out at night, every hour on the hour. Pour your heart out like water in the presence of the Lord. Lift up your hands to him ⌞in prayer⌟ for the life of your little children who faint from hunger at every street corner.”
At that time Jesus went to a mountain to pray. He spent the whole night in prayer to God.
