145 I call with all my heart, O Lord;answer me that I may keep your statutes.
146 I call to you to save methat I may observe your testimonies.
147 I rise before dawn and cry out;I put my hope in your words.
148 My eyes greet the night watchesas I meditate on your promise.
149 Hear my voice in your mercy, O Lord;by your judgment give me life.
150 Malicious persecutors draw near me;they are far from your law.
151 You are near, O Lord;reliable are all your commandments.
