I came before the dawning of the morning, and cried out: I hoped in your word.
Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
And take not the word of truth completely out of my mouth; for I have hoped in your judgments.
Those who fear you will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in your word.
CAPH. My soul faints for your salvation: but I hope in your word.
For you go before him with the blessings of goodness: you set a crown of pure gold on his head.
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.
My voice shall you hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto you, and will look up.
In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
But unto you have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer go before you.
Let my prayer come before you: turn your ear to my cry;
With my soul have I desired you in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek you early: for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
