139:17 How difficult it is for me to fathom your thoughts about me, O God!

Even if I finished counting them,

I would still have to contend with you.

my dove, my flawless one!

My head is drenched with dew,

my hair with the dampness of the night.”

ק (Qof)

2:19 Get up! Cry out in the night

when the night watches start!

before the face of the Lord!

Lift up your hands to him

for your children’s lives;

they are fainting

at every street corner.
