147I anticipated the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy words.
148Mine eyes anticipated the night-watches, That I might meditate on thy word.
149Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: Quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thine ordinances.
150They draw nigh that follow after wickedness; They are far from thy law.
151Thou art nigh, O Jehovah; And all thy commandments are truth.
152Of old have I known from thy testimonies, That thou hast founded them for ever.
153Consider mine affliction, and deliver me; For I do not forget thy law.
154Plead thou my cause, and redeem me: Quicken me according to thy word.
155Salvation is far from the wicked; For they seek not thy statutes.
156Great are thy tender mercies, O Jehovah: Quicken me according to thine ordinances.
157Many are my persecutors and mine adversaries; Yet have I not swerved from thy testimonies.
158I beheld the treacherous, and was grieved, Because they observe not thy word.
159Consider how I love thy precepts: Quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thy lovingkindness.
160The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever.
