146. I call out to you. Save me, and I will keep your covenant laws.
147. I get up before the sun rises. I cry out for help. I've put my hope in your word.
148. My eyes stay open all night long. I spend my time thinking about your promises.
149. Listen to me, because you love me. Lord, keep me alive as you have promised.
150. Those who think up evil plans are near. They have wandered far away from your law.
151. But Lord, you are near. All your commands are true.
152. Long ago I learned from your covenant laws that you made them to last forever.
153. Look at how I'm suffering! Save me, because I haven't forgotten to obey your law.
154. Stand up for me and set me free. Keep me alive as you have promised.
155. Those who are evil are far from being saved. They don't want to obey your orders.
156. Lord, you have deep concern for me. Keep me alive as you have promised.
