¹⁴⁷ Before the sun is up, my cry for help comes to your ear; my hope is in your words.

³ My voice will come to you in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I send my prayer to you, and keep watch.

³⁵ And in the morning, a long time before daylight, he got up and went out to a quiet place, and there he gave himself up to prayer.

⁵ I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.

⁶ My soul is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers for the morning.

¹⁷ So that when it was God's desire to make it specially clear to those who by his word were to have the heritage, that his purpose was fixed, he made it more certain with an oath;

¹⁸ So that we, who have gone in flight from danger to the hope which has been put before us, may have a strong comfort in two unchanging things, in which it is not possible for God to be false;

¹⁹ And this hope is like a strong band for our souls, fixed and certain, and going in to that which is inside the veil;

⁸¹ <CAPH> My soul is wasted with desire for your salvation: but I have hope in your word.

⁷⁴ Your worshippers will see me and be glad; because my hope has been in your word.

² Give out your sounds, O corded instruments: the dawn will be awaking with my song.

¹³ But to you did I send up my cry, O Lord; in the morning my prayer came before you.

⁸ You are my glory; let the instruments of music be awake; I myself will be awake with the dawn.

⁴ In God will I give praise to his word; in God have I put my hope; I will have no fear of what flesh may do to me.

⁸ But the Lord will send his mercy in the daytime, and in the night his song will be with me, a prayer to the God of my life.

³ For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.

⁹ In the night the desire of my soul has been for you; early will my spirit be searching for you; for when your punishments come on the earth, the people of the world will get the knowledge of righteousness.
