⁷ I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

⁶ I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; My spirit diligently inquires:

²⁴ You will guide me with your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.

⁸ Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: A prayer to the God of my life.

³ You have proved my heart; you have visited me in the night; You have tried me, and found nothing; I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.

¹⁷ Thus says Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.

⁴ The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

²³ I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

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

⁹ With my soul have I desired you in the night; yes, with my spirit within me will I seek you earnestly: for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

² The Spirit of Yahweh shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.

³ His delight shall be in the fear of Yahweh; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears;

⁴ but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth; and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips shall he kill the wicked.

¹⁴ Counsel and sound knowledge are mine. I have understanding and power.

² My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don't answer; In the night season, and am not silent.

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

²¹ For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.

² In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn't get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.

⁷ I will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart, When I learn your righteous judgments.

⁵⁵ I have remembered your name, Yahweh, in the night, And I obey your law.

¹⁴⁸ My eyes stay open through the night watches, That I might meditate on your word.

¹⁰ I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

² You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; they grow, yes, they bring forth fruit: you are near in their mouth, and far from their heart.
