Psalm 119:145-152

New Living Translation

¹⁴⁵ I pray with all my heart; answer me, Lord!
    I will obey your decrees.
¹⁴⁶ I cry out to you; rescue me,
    that I may obey your laws.
¹⁴⁷ I rise early, before the sun is up;
    I cry out for help and put my hope in your words.
¹⁴⁸ I stay awake through the night,
    thinking about your promise.
¹⁴⁹ In your faithful love, O Lord, hear my cry;
    let me be revived by following your regulations.
¹⁵⁰ Lawless people are coming to attack me;
    they live far from your instructions.
¹⁵¹ But you are near, O Lord,
    and all your commands are true.
¹⁵² I have known from my earliest days
    that your laws will last forever.
