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.
151 But you are near to me, Lord,and all your commands are permanent.
152 Long ago I learnt about your instructions;you made them to last for ever.
153 Look at my suffering, and save me,because I have not neglected your law.
