I am exhausted as I groan; all night long I drench my bed in tears; my tears saturate the cushion beneath me.

He led them with a cloud by day, and with the light of a fire all night long.

I cannot eat, I weep day and night; all day long they say to me, "Where is your God?"

You make it dark and night comes, during which all the beasts of the forest prowl around.

A song of ascents. Attention! Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord, who serve in the Lord's temple during the night.

If I were to say, "Certainly the darkness will cover me, and the light will turn to night all around me,"

Day after day it speaks out; night after night it reveals his greatness.
