I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.
And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
But unto thee have I cried, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
Yet the Lord will command his loving-kindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
