In the morning, Lord, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will present my prayer to You and be on the watch.
So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him, And that He would hear the cry of the afflicted—
I rise before dawn and cry for help; I wait for Your words.
Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive To the sound of my pleadings.
My soul waits in hope for the Lord More than the watchmen for the morning; Yes, more than the watchmen for the morning.
I will exalt You, my God, the King, And I will bless Your name forever and ever.
My God, I cry out by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I have no rest.
Through You we will push back our adversaries; Through Your name we will trample down those who rise up against us.
Evening and morning and at noon, I will complain and moan, And He will hear my voice.
¶Answer me, Lord, for Your mercy is good; According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me,
¶Yet God is my King from long ago, Who performs acts of salvation in the midst of the earth.
Blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah
¶But I, Lord, have cried out to You for help, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
At night my soul longs for You, Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently; For when the earth experiences Your judgments, The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
You have heard my voice, “Do not cover Your ear from my plea for relief, From my cry for help.”
And in the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and prayed there for a time.
