If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand - "which cannot be measured nor numbered" (Hosea 1:10).
When I awake, I am still with thee. Thy thoughts of loving-kindness are so countless that they are constantly in my mind: as they are my last meditation before I fall asleep, so they are my first when I awake, whether during the night or in the morning (Proverbs 6:22; also Isaiah 26:9: cf. Psalms 16:7; Psalms 63:6).
