140. Your promises are proven,so I, your servant, love them.

141. I am unimportant and hated,but I have not forgotten your orders.

142. Your goodness continues forever,and your teachings are true.

143. I have had troubles and misery,but I love your commands.

144. Your rules are always good.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 me so I can obey your rules.

147. I wake up early in the morning and cry out.I hope in 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.

150. Those who love evil are near,but they are far from your teachings.

151. But, Lord, you are also near,and all your commands are true.

152. Long ago I learned from your rulesthat you made them to continue forever.

153. See my suffering and rescue me,because I have not forgotten your teachings.

154. Argue my case and save me.Let me live by your promises.

155. Wicked people are far from being saved,because they do not want your demands.

156. Lord, you are very kind;give me life by your laws.

157. Many enemies are after me,but I have not rejected your rules.
