I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night on my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.

My tear hath been to me bread day and night, In their saying unto me all the day, 'Where is thy God?'

And leadeth them with a cloud by day, And all the night with a light of fire.

A Song of the Ascents. Lo, bless Jehovah, all servants of Jehovah, Who are standing in the house of Jehovah by night.

Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge.

Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth.

My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me.

But -- in the law of Jehovah is his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

By day Jehovah commandeth His kindness, And by night a song is with me, A prayer to the God of my life.

When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. Selah.
