145. I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord,I will keep Your statutes.
146. I cried unto You; deliver me,and I shall keep Your testimonies.
147. I arose before the dawn of the morning and cried for help;I hope in Your words.
148. My eyes are awake before the night watches,that I might meditate on Your word.
149. Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness, O Lord;revive me according to Your judgment.
150. They draw close, those who persecute me with evil;they are far from Your law.
151. But You are near, O Lord,and all Your commandments are true.
152. I have known of oldthat You have established Your testimonies forever.
153. Consider my affliction, and deliver me,for I do not forget Your law.
