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

⁴ Stand in awe, and don't sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.

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.

²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

²⁹ For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he doesn't discern the Lord's body.

³⁰ For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

³¹ For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn't be judged.

³² But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

²⁵ But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

¹⁷ For though the fig tree doesn't flourish, Nor fruit be in the vines; The labor of the olive fails, The fields yield no food; The flocks are cut off from the fold, And there is no herd in the stalls:

² "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me."

⁴⁰ Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Yahweh.

¹⁶ I said to myself, "Behold, I have obtained for myself great wisdom above all who were before me in Jerusalem. Yes, my heart has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge."

²³ Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts.

²⁴ See if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way.

¹⁰ But none says, 'Where is God my Maker, Who gives songs in the night,

² I will tell God, 'Do not condemn me, Show me why you contend with me.
