145 I call with my whole heart. *
Hear me, O Lord; I will keep your statutes.
146 Even unto you do I call; *
help me, and I shall keep your testimonies.
147 Early in the morning do I cry unto you, *
for in your word is my trust.
148 My eyes open before the night watches, *
that I may meditate on your words.
149 Hear my voice, O Lord, according to your loving-kindness; *
give me life according to your judgments.
150 They draw nigh who in malice persecute me, *
and are far from your law.
151 Be near at hand, O Lord, *
for all your commandments are true.
152 Concerning your testimonies, I have known long ago *
that you have founded them for ever.

for they do not regard your statutes.
156 Great is your mercy, O Lord; *
give me life according to your judgments.
157 Many there are who trouble me and persecute me, *
yet I do not swerve from your testimonies.

158 It grieves me when I see the transgressors, *
because they do not keep your law.
159 Consider, O Lord, how I love your commandments; *
O give me life according to your loving-kindness.
160 Your word is true from everlasting; *
all the judgments of your righteousness endure 
for evermore. Principes persecuti sunt

161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause, *
but my heart stands in awe of your word.
162 I am as glad of your word *
as one who finds great spoils.
163 As for lies, I hate and abhor them, *
but your law do I love.
164 Seven times a day do I praise you, *
because of your righteous judgments.
165 Great is the peace they have who love your law *
and find in it no stumbling block.
166 Lord, I have looked for your saving health *
and have done your commandments.
167 My soul has kept your testimonies, *
and I have loved them exceedingly.
168 I have kept your commandments and testimonies, *
for all my ways are before you.

169 Let my complaint come before you, O Lord; *
give me understanding, according to your word.
170 Let my supplication come before you; *
deliver me, according to your word.
171 My lips shall pour forth your praise, *
when you have taught me your statutes.

O seek your servant, for I do not forget 
your commandments.
