143. I am filled with trouble and anxiety,but your commandments bring me joy.
144. Your instructions are always just;give me understanding, and I shall live.
145. With all my heart I call to you;answer me, Lord, and I will obey your commands!
146. I call to you;save me, and I will keep your laws.
147. Before sunrise I call to you for help;I place my hope in your promise.
148. All night long I lie awake,to meditate on your instructions.
149. Because your love is constant, hear me, O Lord;show your mercy, and preserve my life!
