143. Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delight.
144. Thy testimonies are righteous for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live.
145. I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.
146. I have called unto thee; save me, and I shall observe thy testimonies.
147. I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy words.
148. Mine eyes prevented the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
149. Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy judgments.
150. They draw nigh that follow after wickedness; they are far from thy law.
