149Heare my voyce according to thy louing kindenesse: O Lord, quicken me according to thy iudgement.
150They drawe neere, that follow after malice, and are farre from thy Lawe.
151Thou art neere, O Lord: for all thy commandements are true.
152I haue knowen long since by thy testimonies, that thou hast established them for euer.
153RESH. Beholde mine affliction, and deliuer mee: for I haue not forgotten thy Lawe.
154Pleade my cause, and deliuer me: quicken me according vnto thy word.
155Saluation is farre from the wicked, because they seeke not thy statutes.
156Great are thy tender mercies, O Lord: quicken me according to thy iudgements.
