 and I will heed your commands.
Before the morning light I rise and I call :
 for in your word is my hope.
Before the night watch my eyes wake :
 that I may meditate upon your words.
Hear my voice, O Lord, in your loving mercy :
 and according to your judgements, give me life.
They draw near to me who maliciously persecute me :
 but they are far from your law.
You, Lord, are close at hand :
 and all your commandments are true.
I have known long since from your commands :
 that you have founded them for ever.

 according to your judgements, give me life.

 for they do not keep your word.

 and in your mercy, give me life.

 but my heart stands in awe of your word.

 as one who finds rich spoil.

 but your law do I love.
Seven times a day I praise you :
 because of your righteous judgements.

 and I have done your commandments.

 for all my ways are open before you.
Let my cry come to you, O Lord :
 O give me understanding, according to your word.

 and deliver me according to your promise.
My lips shall pour forth your praise :
 because you teach me your statutes;
My tongue shall sing of your word :
 for all your commandments are righteousness.
Let your hand be swift to help me :
 for I have chosen your precepts.
Lord, I have longed for your salvation :
 and your law is my delight.
O let my soul live, that I may praise you :
 and let your judgements be my help.

 O seek your servant, for I do not forget your commandments.
