144. The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting;Give me understanding, and I shall live.
145. I cry out with my whole heart;Hear me, O Lord!I will keep Your statutes.
146. I cry out to You;Save me, and I will keep Your testimonies.
147. I rise before the dawning of the morning,And cry for help;I hope in Your word.
148. My eyes are awake through the night watches,That I may meditate on Your word.
149. Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness;O Lord, revive me according to Your justice.
150. They draw near who follow after wickedness;They are far from Your law.
151. You are near, O Lord,And all Your commandments are truth.
152. Concerning Your testimonies,I have known of old that You have founded them forever.
153. Consider my affliction and deliver me,For I do not forget Your law.
