[119:145] With all my heart I call to you; answer me, Lord, and I will obey your commands!
[119:146] I call to you; save me, and I will keep your laws.
[119:147] Before sunrise I call to you for help; I place my hope in your promise.
[119:148] All night long I lie awake, to meditate on your instructions.
[119:149] Because your love is constant, hear me, O Lord; show your mercy, and preserve my life!
[119:150] My cruel persecutors are coming closer, people who never keep your law.
[119:151] But you are near to me, Lord, and all your commands are permanent.
[119:152] Long ago I learned about your instructions; you made them to last forever.
