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.
153 Look at my misery, and rescue me,because I have never forgotten your teachings.
154 Plead my case ⌊for me⌋, and save me.Give me a new life as you promised.
