All night long I lie awake, to meditate on your instructions.
I study your instructions; I examine your teachings.
In the middle of the night I wake up to praise you for your righteous judgments.
O God, you are my God, and I long for you. My whole being desires you; like a dry, worn-out, and waterless land, my soul is thirsty for you.
As I lie in bed, I remember you; all night long I think of you,
All through the night get up again and again to cry out to the Lord; Pour out your heart and beg him for mercy on your children— Children starving to death on every street corner!
At that time Jesus went up a hill to pray and spent the whole night there praying to God.
