143. I have had troubles and misery.But I love your commands.

144. Your rules are good forever.Help me understand so I can live.

145. Lord, I call to you with all my heart.Answer me,and I will keep your demands.

146. I call to you. Save meso I can obey your rules.

147. I wake up early in the morning and cry out.I trust your word.

148. I stay awake all nightso I can think about your promises.

149. Listen to me because of your love.Lord, give me life by your laws.
