Yes, in your eyes a thousand years are like yesterday that quickly passes, or like one of the divisions of the nighttime.

You make it dark and night comes, during which all the beasts of the forest prowl around.

even the darkness is not too dark for you to see, and the night is as bright as day; darkness and light are the same to you.

I cannot eat, I weep day and night; all day long they say to me, “Where is your God?”

In my time of trouble I sought the Lord. I kept my hand raised in prayer throughout the night. I refused to be comforted.

A song, a psalm written by the Korahites; for the music director; according to the machalath-leannoth style; a well-written song by Heman the Ezrachite. O Lord God who delivers me! By day I cry out and at night I pray before you.

A song of ascents. Attention! Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord, who serve in the Lord’s temple during the night.
