Psalms 119:147-156

¹⁴⁷Each morning I arise before dawn and call to you to help me; I confidently expect you to do what you have ◄promised/said that you will do►.

¹⁴⁸All during the night I am awake, and I ◄meditate on/think about► what you have ◄promised/said that you would do►.

¹⁴⁹Yahweh, because you faithfully love me, listen to me while I pray, and keep me safe because of my obeying ◄your regulations/what you have told us to do►.

¹⁵⁰Those evil people who oppress/persecute me are coming closer to me; they do not pay any attention to your laws.

¹⁵¹But Yahweh, you are near to me, and I know that ◄your commands/what you command► will never be changed.

¹⁵²Long ago I found out about ◄your requirements/all the things that you have instructed us to do►, and I know that you intended them to last forever.

¹⁵³Look at me and see that I am suffering very much, and heal me, because I do not forget your laws.

¹⁵⁴Defend me when others accuse me, and rescue me from them; allow me to continue to live, as you promised/said that you would.

¹⁵⁵Wicked people do not obey ◄your statutes/what you have decreed that we should do►, so you will certainly not save them.

¹⁵⁶Yahweh, you are very merciful; allow me to continue to live because of my obeying ◄your regulations/the rules that you have given to us►.
