My eyes are awake before each watch of the night, that I may meditate on Your word.
I will meditate on Your precepts, and have respect unto Your ways.
At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You, because of Your righteous judgments.
O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
When I remember You upon my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches,
Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift your hands to Him for the lives of your young children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.
In these days He went out to the mountain to pray and continued all night in prayer to God.
