148 Late into the night I stay awake to think about your word.
149 I know your love is true, so listen to me. Lord, you always do what is right, so let me live.
150 Here come those who have evil plans to hurt me. They live far away from your teachings.
151 But you are near me, Lord, and all your commands can be trusted.
152 Long ago, I learned from your rules that you made them to last forever.
153 Look at my suffering and rescue me. I have not forgotten your teachings.
154 Argue my case, and set me free. Let me live, as you promised.
