146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
147 I arose before the dawning of the morning and cried: I waited in thy word.
148 My eyes anticipate the night watches that I might meditate in thy spoken word.
149 Hear my voice according to thy mercy; O Lord, cause me to live according to thy judgment.
150 Those that persecute me draw near unto evil; they have strayed from thy law.
151 Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments are truth.
152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
