144 Your instructions are always just;give me understanding, and I shall live.
145 With all my heart I call to you;answer me, Lord, and I will obey your commands!
146 I call to you;save me, and I will keep your laws.
147 Before sunrise I call to you for help;I place my hope in your promise.
148 All night long I lie awake,to meditate on your instructions.
149 Because your love is constant, hear me, O Lord;show your mercy, and preserve my life!
150 My cruel persecutors are coming closer,people who never keep your law.
