148. Mine eyes did timeously preventthe watches of the night,That in thy word with careful mindthen meditate I might.

152. As for thy testimonies all,of old this have I try'd,That thou hast surely founded themfor ever to abide.
153. Consider mine affliction,in safety do me set:Deliver me, O Lord, for Ithy law do not forget.
154. After thy word revive thou me: save me,and plead my cause.
