PSALM 119 (19) 10 10 10 10

145 I call with all my heart; LORD, answer me,
And then all your decrees I will obey.
146 I cry aloud to you, LORD; save my life
And I will keep your statutes every day.

147 I rise before the dawn and cry for help,
For I have set my hope upon your word.
148 I stay awake throughout the hours of night,
Reflecting on your promises, O LORD.

149 LORD, in your loving-kindness hear my voice,
And in your justice save and keep my life;
150 For those who disregard your holy law
Approach with schemes of wickedness and strife.

151 Yet you are near to those who seek you, LORD;
All your commands are true and ever sure.
152 Yes, from your statutes long ago I learned
That you have made them always to endure.
