Early Rising: Requisite For: Devotion

In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.

But I will sing of Your strength and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning. For You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.

But to You, O LORD, I cry for help; in the morning my prayer comes before You.

My soul longs for You in the night; indeed, my spirit seeks You at dawn. For when Your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.
