I sought the Lord in my day of trouble.
My hands were continually lifted up
all night long;
I refused to be comforted.

You bring darkness, and it becomes night,
when all the forest animals stir.

A song of ascents.Now praise the Lord,
all you servants of the Lord
who stand in the Lord’s house at night!

My tears have been my food day and night,
while all day long people say to me,
“Where is your God?”

Day after day they pour out speech;
night after night they communicate knowledge.

A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choir director: according to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.Lord, God of my salvation,
I cry out before You day and night.

For in Your sight a thousand years
are like yesterday that passes by,
like a few hours of the night.

You will not fear the terror of the night,
the arrow that flies by day,

to declare Your faithful love in the morning
and Your faithfulness at night,

He spread a cloud as a covering
and gave a fire to light up the night.

Yahweh, I remember Your name in the night,
and I obey Your instruction.

I am awake through each watch of the night
to meditate on Your promise.

The sun will not strike you by day
or the moon by night.

the moon and stars to rule by night.
        His love is eternal.

If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me,
and the light around me will be night”—

even the darkness is not dark to You.
The night shines like the day;
darkness and light are alike to You.
