146 I have called out.Save me, so that I can obey your written instructions.
147 I got up before dawn, and I cried out for help.My hope is based on your word.
148 My eyes are wide-open throughout the nighttime hoursto reflect on your word.
149 In keeping with your mercy, hear my voice.O Lord, give me a new life guided by your regulations.
150 Those who carry out plots against me are near,⌊yet⌋ they are far away from your teachings.
151 You are near, O Lord,and all your commandments are reliable.
152 Long ago I learned from your written instructionsthat you made them to last forever.
