⁶ When I remember you on my bed, And think about you in the night watches.

¹⁹ Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord: Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.

⁶² At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you, Because of your righteous ordinances.

¹⁷ How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!

¹⁸ If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I wake up, I am still with you.

¹² It happened in these days, that he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.
