   And I shall keep your testimonies.
147  Early in the morning I cry to you, ♦︎
   for in your word is my trust.

   who are far from your law.
151  You, O Lord, are near at hand, ♦︎
   and all your commandments are true.
152  Long have I known of your testimonies, ♦︎
   that you have founded them for ever.
