148  My eyes are awake before ^wthe watches of the night,

that I may meditate on your promise.

6  when I remember you ^cupon my bed,

and meditate on you in ^cthe watches of the night;

1  O God, you are my God; ^tearnestly I seek you;

^umy soul thirsts for you;

my flesh faints for you,

as in ^va dry and weary land where there is no water.

62  At ^umidnight I rise to praise you,

because of your ^vrighteous rules.

17  How precious to me are your ^kthoughts, O God!

How vast is the sum of them!

18  ^lIf I would count them, they are more than ^mthe sand.

I awake, and I am still with you.

19  “Arise, ^vcry out in the night,

at the beginning of the night watches!

^wPour out your heart like water

before the presence of the Lord!

^xLift your hands to him

for the lives of your children,

^ywho faint for hunger

at the head of every street.”
