Trouble and anguish have overtaken me, Yet Your commandments are my delights.
144
The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting; Give me understanding, and I shall live.
145
I cry out with my whole heart; Hear me, O Lord! I will keep Your statutes.
146
I cry out to You; Save me, and I will keep Your testimonies.
147
I rise before the dawning of the morning, And cry for help; I hope in Your word.
148
My eyes are awake through the night watches, That I may meditate on Your word.
149
Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness; O Lord, revive me according to Your justice.
150
They draw near who follow after wickedness; They are far from Your law.
151
You are near, O Lord, And all Your commandments are truth.
152
Concerning Your testimonies, I have known of old that You have founded them forever.
153
Consider my affliction and deliver me, For I do not forget Your law.
154
Plead my cause and redeem me; Revive me according to Your word.
155
Salvation is far from the wicked, For they do not seek Your statutes.
156
Great are Your tender mercies, O Lord; Revive me according to Your judgments.
157
Many are my persecutors and my enemies, Yet I do not turn from Your testimonies.
158
I see the treacherous, and am disgusted, Because they do not keep Your word.
159
Consider how I love Your precepts; Revive me, O Lord, according to Your lovingkindness.
160
The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.
161
Princes persecute me without a cause, But my heart stands in awe of Your word.
162
I rejoice at Your word As one who finds great treasure.
163
I hate and abhor lying, But I love Your law.
