147 I rise early, before the sun is up;I cry out for help and put my hope in your words.
148 I stay awake through the night,thinking about your promise.
149 In your faithful love, O lord, hear my cry;let me be revived by following your regulations.
150 Lawless people are coming to attack me;they live far from your instructions.
151 But you are near, O lord,and all your commands are true.
152 I have known from my earliest daysthat your laws will last forever.
153 Look upon my suffering and rescue me,for I have not forgotten your instructions.
