³⁵ And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

¹⁷ I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

⁶² At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.

⁶ When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

⁷ Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

¹³ And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

¹⁵ I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
