145 I pray with all my heart; answer me, Lord!

I will obey your decrees.

146 I cry out to you; rescue me,

that I may obey your laws.

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 days

that your laws will last forever.
