Psalms 119:146-163
-
146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
-
147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.
-
148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
-
149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.
-
150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
-
151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.
-
152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
-
153 Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
-
154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.
-
155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
-
156 Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.
-
157 Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.
-
158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.
-
159 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.
-
160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
-
161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
-
162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
-
163 I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.
