146I have called unto thee; save me, And I shall observe thy testimonies.
147I anticipated the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy words.
148Mine eyes anticipated the night-watches, That I might meditate on thy word.
149Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: Quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thine ordinances.
150They draw nigh that follow after wickedness; They are far from thy law.
151Thou art nigh, O Jehovah; And all thy commandments are truth.
152Of old have I known from thy testimonies, That thou hast founded them for ever.
153RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me; For I do not forget thy law.
154Plead thou my cause, and redeem me: Quicken me according to thy word.
155Salvation is far from the wicked; For they seek not thy statutes.
156Great are thy tender mercies, O Jehovah: Quicken me according to thine ordinances.
157Many are my persecutors and mine adversaries; Yet have I not swerved from thy testimonies.
158I beheld the treacherous, and was grieved, Because they observe not thy word.
159Consider how I love thy precepts: Quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thy lovingkindness.
160The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever.
161SHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; But my heart standeth in awe of thy words.
162I rejoice at thy word, As one that findeth great spoil.
163I hate and abhor falsehood; But thy law do I love.
164Seven times a day do I praise thee, Because of thy righteous ordinances.
165Great peace have they that love thy law; And they have no occasion of stumbling.
166I have hoped for thy salvation, O Jehovah, And have done thy commandments.
167My soul hath observed thy testimonies; And I love them exceedingly.
168I have observed thy precepts and thy testimonies; For all my ways are before thee.
169TAV. Let my cry come near before thee, O Jehovah: Give me understanding according to thy word.
170Let my supplication come before thee: Deliver me according to thy word.
171Let my lips utter praise; For thou teachest me thy statutes.
172Let my tongue sing of thy word; For all thy commandments are righteousness.
173Let thy hand be ready to help me; For I have chosen thy precepts.
174I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah; And thy law is my delight.
175Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; And let thine ordinances help me.
176I have gone astray like a lost sheep; Seek thy servant; For I do not forget thy commandments.
