'Night' in the Bible

Let the day perish in which I am born, And the night that hath said: 'A man-child hath been conceived.'

That night -- let thick darkness take it, Let it not be united to days of the year, Into the number of months let it not come.

Lo! that night -- let it be gloomy, Let no singing come into it.

In thoughts from visions of the night, In the falling of deep sleep on men,

By day they meet darkness, And as night -- they grope at noon.

Night for day they appoint, Light is near because of darkness.

As a dream he fleeth, and they find him not, And he is driven away as a vision of the night,

At the light doth the murderer rise, He doth slay the poor and needy, And in the night he is as a thief.

Overtake him as waters do terrors, By night stolen him away hath a whirlwind.

At night my bone hath been pierced in me, And mine eyelids do not lie down.

In a dream -- a vision of night, In the falling of deep sleep on men, In slumberings on a bed.

Therefore He knoweth their works, And He hath overturned by night, And they are bruised.

And none said, 'Where is God my maker? Giving songs in the night,

Desire not the night, For the going up of peoples in their stead.
