147. I rise before dawn and cry for help; I wait for Your words.
148. My eyes anticipate the night watches, That I may meditate on Your word.
149. Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness; Revive me, O Lord, according to Your ordinances.
150. Those who follow after wickedness draw near; They are far from Your law.
151. You are near, O Lord, And all Your commandments are truth.
152. Of old I have known from Your testimonies That You have founded them forever.
153. Look upon my affliction and rescue me, For I do not forget Your law.
154. Plead my cause and redeem me; Revive me according to Your word.
155. Salvation is far from the wicked, For they do not seek Your statutes.
156. Great are Your mercies, O Lord; Revive me according to Your ordinances.
157. Many are my persecutors and my adversaries, Yet I do not turn aside from Your testimonies.
158. I behold the treacherous and loathe them, Because they do not keep Your word.
