143Trouble and anguish have taken hold of me. Your commandments are my delight.
144Your testimonies are righteous forever. Give me understanding, that I may live.
145QOPH I have called with my whole heart. Answer me, Yahweh! I will keep your statutes.
146I have called to you. Save me! I will obey your statutes.

148My eyes stay open through the night watches, that I might meditate on your word.
149Hear my voice according to your loving kindness. Revive me, Yahweh, according to your ordinances.
150They draw near who follow after wickedness. They are far from your law.

152Of old I have known from your testimonies, that you have founded them forever.
153RESH Consider my affliction, and deliver me, for I don’t forget your law.

155Salvation is far from the wicked, for they don’t seek your statutes.
156Great are your tender mercies, Yahweh. Revive me according to your ordinances.
157Many are my persecutors and my adversaries. I haven’t swerved from your testimonies.

159Consider how I love your precepts. Revive me, Yahweh, according to your loving kindness.
160All of your words are truth. Every one of your righteous ordinances endures forever.
161SIN AND SHIN Princes have persecuted me without a cause, but my heart stands in awe of your words.
162I rejoice at your word, as one who finds great plunder.
163I hate and abhor falsehood. I love your law.
164Seven times a day, I praise you, because of your righteous ordinances.
165Those who love your law have great peace. Nothing causes them to stumble.
166I have hoped for your salvation, Yahweh. I have done your commandments.
