חֲצֽוֹת־לַ֗יְלָה אָ֭קוּם לְהוֹד֣וֹת לָ֑ךְ עַ֝֗ל מִשְׁפְּטֵ֥י צִדְקֶֽךָ׃
Sa hatinggabi ay bumabangon ako upang magpasalamat sa Iyo dahil sa Iyong matuwid na mga kahatulan.
The Sabbath Epistle
Thus the poet (David) said, “Evening, morning, and noon” (Psalms 55:18), and he did not say “morning, noon, and evening”. He mentioned the three times when a person is obliged to pray, for the other(?) time people are asleep. That is “At midnight I arise to praise You” (ibid. 119:62).
