I of the morning did prevent the dawning, and did cry: For all mine expectation did on thy word rely.
I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.
I anticipated the dawning of the morning and cried [in childlike prayer]; I hoped in Your word.
I anticipated the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy words.
I meet the predawn light and cry for help. I wait for your promise.
Awake up psaltery and harp; myself I'll early raise.
The word of truth out of my mouth take thou not utterly; For on thy judgments righteous my hope doth still rely.
So who thee fear shall joy to see me trusting in thy word.
My soul for thy salvation faints; yet I thy word believe.
For thou with blessings him prevent'st of goodness manifold; And thou hast set upon his head a crown of purest gold.
His loving-kindness yet the Lord command will in the day, His song's with me by night; to God, by whom I live, I'll pray:
Lord, thou shalt early hear my voice: I early will direct My pray'r to thee; and, looking up, an answer will expect.
In God I'll praise his word; I will not fear what flesh can do, my trust is in the Lord.
My glory wake; wake psalt'ry, harp; myself I'll early raise.
But, Lord, to thee I cry'd; my pray'r at morn prevent shall thee.
Before thee let my prayer come; give ear unto my cry.
