She was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. And shall not God avenge His own elect, which cry day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them? Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day. In God we boast all the day long, and praise Thy name for ever. Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and He shall hear my voice. Seven times a day do I praise THEE because of Thy righteous judgments. Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in Thy word.
Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you. O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before THEE. Yet the Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. My tongue also shall talk of THY righteousness all the day long.

And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve HIM day and night in His temple: and HE that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
