145With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O Lord. I will keep your statutes.
146I cry to you; save me, that I may observe your decrees.
147I rise before dawn and cry for help; I put my hope in your words.
148My eyes are awake before each watch of the night, that I may meditate on your promise.
149In your steadfast love hear my voice; O Lord, in your justice preserve my life.
150Those who persecute me with evil purpose draw near; they are far from your law.
151Yet you are near, O Lord, and all your commandments are true.
152Long ago I learned from your decrees that you have established them forever.
153Look on my misery and rescue me, for I do not forget your law.
154Plead my cause and redeem me; give me life according to your promise.
155Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek your statutes.
156Great is your mercy, O Lord; give me life according to your justice.
157Many are my persecutors and my adversaries, yet I do not swerve from your decrees.
158I look at the faithless with disgust, because they do not keep your commands.
159Consider how I love your precepts; preserve my life according to your steadfast love.
160The sum of your word is truth; and every one of your righteous ordinances endures forever.
