3 Listen to me when I pray to you each morning,

and I wait for you to reply.

13 But as for me, Yahweh, I cry out to you to help me;

each morning I pray to you.

8 I will awaken myself;

I will arise before the sun rises

and praise you while I play my harp or my ◄lyre/small harp►.

16 But as for me, I will sing about your power;

every morning I will sing joyfully about your faithfully loving us.

I will sing about how you protected me when I was very distressed.

16 But as for me, I will sing about your power;

every morning I will sing joyfully about your faithfully loving us.

I will sing about how you protected me when I was very distressed.

17 God, you are the one who enables me to be strong;

you are my refuge;

you faithfully love me.

8 Every morning cause me to remember that you faithfully love me,

because I trust in you.

I ◄pray/send my prayers up [IDM]► to you;

show me what I should do.

15 Yahweh, because I act righteously, I will some day see you [SYN].

When I awake, I will see you face-to-face, and then I will be happy.

22 Yahweh never stops faithfully loving us,

and he never stops being kind to us.

23 He is the one whom we can always trust/lean on.

Every morning he is merciful to us again.

24 So I say to myself, "Yahweh is all that I need;

so I will confidently wait for him to do good things for me."

22 Yahweh never stops faithfully loving us,

and he never stops being kind to us.

23 He is the one whom we can always trust/lean on.

Every morning he is merciful to us again.

24 This is the day in which we remember that Yahweh acted powerfully to defeat our enemies;

we will rejoice and be glad/happy today.

4 All you who belong to Yahweh, sing praise to him!

Think about what God, the holy one, has done, and thank him!

5 When he becomes angry, he is angry for only a very short time [HYP],

but he is good to us all of our life.

We may cry during the night,

but the next morning we will be joyful.

5 When he becomes angry, he is angry for only a very short time [HYP],

but he is good to us all of our life.

We may cry during the night,

but the next morning we will be joyful.

8 People who live in very remote/distant places on the earth

◄are awed by/revere► you because of the miracles that you perform;

because of what you do,

people who live far to the west and far to the east shout joyfully.

14 Each morning show us that your faithfully loving us is enough for us

in order that we may shout joyfully and be happy for the rest of our lives.

1 My God and King, I will proclaim that you are very great/glorious;

I will praise you [MTY] now and forever.

2 Every day I will praise you;

Yes, I will praise you [MTY] forever.

1 Yahweh, it is good for people to thank you

and to sing to praise you [MTY] who are greater than any other god.

2 It is good to proclaim every morning that you faithfully love us,

and each night to sing songs that declare that you always do what you have promised to do,

1 Sing to Yahweh a new song!

You people throughout the earth, sing to Yahweh!

2 Sing to Yahweh and praise him [MTY]!

Every day proclaim to others that he has saved/rescued us.

3 Tell about his glory/greatness to all people-groups;

tell all people-groups the marvelous things that he has done.

97 I love your laws very much.

I ◄meditate on/think about► them all during the day.

8 Yahweh shows me each day that he faithfully loves me,

and each night I sing to him

and pray to him, the God who causes me to live.

2 Yahweh, be kind to us,

because we have patiently waited for you to help us.

Enable us to be strong every day,

and rescue us when we have troubles.

4 Yahweh our God has given me his wise message [MTY]

in order that I may encourage those who are weary.

Each morning he awakens me,

in order that I [SYN] may listen to what he teaches [SIM] me.

24 ‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you

and protect you,

25 and that he will smile at you

and act kindly toward you,

26 and that he will be good to you [IDM]

and cause things to go well for you.’"

6 Start planting your seeds in the morning,

and do not stop planting them until the evening,

because you do not know which ones will grow better,

the ones you plant in the morning or the ones you plant later in the day,

or whether both will grow well.

15 She gets up before dawn to prepare food for her family.

Then she plans the work that her servant girls will do on that day.

13 If you want to sleep all the time, you will become poor;

if you stay awake and work, you will have plenty of food.

4 God was pleased with the light. Then he made the light to shine in some places, and in other places there was still darkness. 5 He gave to the light the name ‘day’, and he gave to the darkness the name ‘night’. After that, there was an evening which was followed by a morning. He called that whole period of time ‘the first day’.

19 We also have the Scriptures that the prophets wrote about Christ long ago, which are completely reliable/trustworthy. You should ◄pay attention to/think carefully about► what they wrote, because what they wrote enables you to know whether what is taught to you is true or whether it is false [SIM], like a lamp that is shining in a dark place enables people to see where they are going [SIM]. You should ◄pay attention to/think carefully about► what they wrote until our Lord Jesus Christ comes back and enables you [SYN] to know God fully, which will be like when [MET] ◄a day dawns/daylight comes► and the morning star rises and we can see it clearly.

10 Jesus died to atone/pay for our sins in order that we might be able to live together with him, whether we are alive [MET] or whether we are dead [EUP] when he returns to earth.
