142 Your justice is righteousness forever, and Your Torah is truth.
143 Trouble and anguish have overtaken me, yet Your mitzvot are my delight.
144 Your testimonies are righteous forever —make me understand, so I may live.
145 I cried out with all my heart, “Answer me, Adonai! I will keep Your decrees.”
146 I cried out to You, “Save me, and I will keep Your testimonies.”
147 I am up before dawn, crying for help— I put my hope in Your word.
148 My eyes are up before every night watch, as I meditate on Your word.
