147I came before the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.
148My eyes anticipated the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
149Hear my voice, according to thy loving-kindness: O LORD, revive me according to thy judgment.
150They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
151Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.
152Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
153RESH. Consider my affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
154Plead my cause, and deliver me: revive me according to thy word.
155Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
156Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: revive me according to thy judgments.
