I will blessthe LORDwhohas counseledme; Indeed,my mindinstructsme in the night.
My eyesanticipatethe night watches,That I may meditateon Your word.
O LORD,I rememberYour namein the night,And keepYour law.
I shall givethanksto You with uprightnessof heart,When I learnYour righteousjudgments.
You have triedmy heart;You have visited[me] by night;You have testedme and You findnothing;I have purposedthat my mouthwill not transgress.
O my God,I cryby day,but You do not answer;And by night,but I have norest.
The LORDwill commandHis lovingkindnessin the daytime;And His songwill be with me in the night,A prayerto the Godof my life.
WhenI rememberYou on my bed,I meditateon You in the night watches,
Whenmy heartwas embitteredAnd I was piercedwithin,
With Your counselYou will guideme, And afterwardreceiveme to glory.
In the dayof my troubleI soughtthe Lord;In the nightmy handwas stretchedout withoutweariness;My soulrefusedto be comforted.
I will remembermy songin the night;I will meditatewith my heart,And my spiritponders:
"Counselis mine and soundwisdom;I am understanding,poweris mine.
At nightmy soullongsfor You, Indeed,my spiritwithinme seeksYou diligently;For whenthe earthexperiences Your judgmentsThe inhabitantsof the worldlearnrighteousness.
Thussaysthe LORD,your Redeemer,the HolyOneof Israel,"I am the LORDyour God,who teachesyou to profit,Who leadsyou in the wayyou should go.
The LordGODhas givenMe the tongueof disciples,That I may knowhow to sustainthe wearyonewith a word.He awakens[Me] morningby morning,He awakensMy earto listenas a disciple.
You have plantedthem, they have alsotakenroot;They grow,they have evenproducedfruit.You are nearto their lipsBut farfrom their mind.
"I, the LORD,searchthe heart,I testthe mind,Even to giveto eachmanaccording to his ways,According to the resultsof his deeds.
It was at thistimethat He went offto the mountainto pray,and He spent the whole nightin prayerto God.
And I will killher childrenwith pestilence,and allthe churcheswill knowthat I amHe who searchesthe mindsand hearts;and I will giveto each oneof you accordingto your deeds.
