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.
149 Hear my voice with Your lovingkindness. Revive me, Adonai, with Your judgments.
