147. I get up early in the morning to pray to you. I trust what you say.
148. Late into the night I stay awake to think about your word.
149. I know your love is true, so listen to me. Lord, you always do what is right, so let me live.
150. Here come those who have evil plans to hurt me. They live far away from your teachings.
151. But you are near me, Lord, and all your commands can be trusted.
152. Long ago, I learned from your rules that you made them to last forever.
153. Look at my suffering and rescue me. I have not forgotten your teachings.
154. Argue my case, and set me free. Let me live, as you promised.
155. The wicked have no hope of being saved, because they don’t follow your laws.
