WhenI rememberYou on my bed,I meditateon You in the night watches,
"Then indeed,He enticedyou from the mouthof distress,Insteadof it, a broadplacewith noconstraint;And that whichwas seton your tablewas fullof fatness.
I will singto the LORDas long as I live;I will singpraiseto my GodwhileI have my being.
O LORD,I rememberYour namein the night,And keepYour law.
Let the godlyonesexultin glory;Let them singfor joyon their beds.
The LORDwill commandHis lovingkindnessin the daytime;And His songwill be with me in the night,A prayerto the Godof my life.
"I was asleepbut my heartwas awake.A voice!My belovedwas knocking:'Opento me, my sister,my darling,My dove,my perfectone!For my headis drenchedwith dew,My lockswith the dampof the night.'
"I will fillthe soulof the priestswith abundance,And My peoplewill be satisfiedwith My goodness,"declaresthe LORD.
"Arise,cryaloudin the nightAt the beginningof the night watches;Pourout your heartlike waterBeforethe presenceof the Lord;Liftup your handsto Him For the lifeof your littleonesWho are faintbecause of hungerAt the headof everystreet."
