147Ere the dawn I cry for your help: in your word do I hope.
148Awake I meet the night-watches, to muse upon your sayings.
149Hear my voice in your kindness: O Lord, by your judgements revive me.
150Near me are wicked tormentors, who are far from thoughts of your law;
151but near, too, are you, O Lord, and all your commandments are trusty.
152Long have I known from your charges that you have founded them for all time.
153Look on my misery, and rescue me; for I do not forget your law.
154Defend my cause and redeem me: revive me, as you have promised.
155Salvation is far from the wicked, for their mind is not in your statutes.
156Great is your pity, O Lord: Revive me, as you have ordained.
157My foes and tormentors are many, but I have not declined from your charges.
158I behold the traitors with loathing, for they do not observe your word.
159Behold how I love your precepts: revive me, O Lord!, in your kindness.
160The sum of your word is truth, all your laws are just and eternal.
161Princes have harassed me wantonly: but my heart stands in awe of your word.
162Over your word I rejoice as one who finds great spoil.
163Falsehood I hate and abhor, but your law do I love.
164Seven times a day do I praise you because of your righteous judgements.
165Right well do they fare who love your law: they go on their way without stumbling.
166I hope for your salvation; O Lord I do your commandments.
167I observe your charges: I love them greatly.
