145KOPH. I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O Jehovah: I will observe thy statutes.
146I call upon thee; save me, and I will keep thy testimonies.
147I anticipate the morning-dawn and I cry: I hope in thy word.
148Mine eyes anticipate the night-watches, that I may meditate in thy *word.
149Hear my voice according to thy loving-kindness: O Jehovah, quicken me according to thy judgment.
150They have drawn nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
151Thou, Jehovah, art near, and all thy commandments are truth.
152From thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
