I rise before the dawning of the morning, And cry for help; I hope in Your word.
Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.
My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up.
But to You I have cried out, O Lord, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
My soul faints for Your salvation, But I hope in Your word.
Those who fear You will be glad when they see me, Because I have hoped in Your word.
In God (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?
The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me— A prayer to the God of my life.
With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; For when Your judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn.
Awake, my glory! Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn.
For You meet him with the blessings of goodness; You set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
Let my prayer come before You; Incline Your ear to my cry.
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, For I have hoped in Your ordinances.
