141Of mean condition am I, and despised; Yet do I not forget thy precepts.
142Thy righteousness is everlasting righteousness, And thy law is truth.
143Trouble and anguish have taken hold of me, But thy laws are my delight.
144The justice of thine ordinances is everlasting; Give me understanding, and I shall live!
145I cry to thee with my whole heart; Hear me, O LORD! that I may keep thy statutes.
146I cry unto thee; save me, And I will observe thine ordinances.
147I come before the dawn with my prayer; I trust in thy promise!
148My eyes anticipate the night-watches, That I may meditate upon thy promise.
149Hear my voice according to thy loving-kindness; O LORD! revive me according to thy mercy!
150Near are they whose aim is mischief; They are far from thy law;
151Yet thou art near, O LORD! And all thy commandments are truth!
