⁸ By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,
    and at night his song is with me,
    a prayer to the God of my life.^(A)

⁵ Let the faithful exult in glory;
    let them sing for joy on their couches.^(A)

⁶ when I think of you on my bed
    and meditate on you in the watches of the night,^(A)

¹⁰ But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
    who gives strength in the night,^(A)

³ It is like the dew of Hermon,
    which falls on the mountains of Zion.
For there the Lord ordained his blessing,
    life forevermore.^(A)
