148My eyes anticipate the night watches,
That I may meditate on Your word.

149Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness;
Revive me, O LORD, according to Your ordinances.

150Those who follow after wickedness draw near;
They are far from Your law.

151You are near, O LORD,
And all Your commandments are truth.

152Of old I have known from Your testimonies
That You have founded them forever.

Resh.

153Look upon my affliction and rescue me,
For I do not forget Your law.

154Plead my cause and redeem me;
Revive me according to Your word.

155Salvation is far from the wicked,
For they do not seek Your statutes.

156Great are Your mercies, O LORD;
Revive me according to Your ordinances.

157Many are my persecutors and my adversaries,
Yet I do not turn aside from Your testimonies.

158I behold the treacherous and loathe them,
Because they do not keep Your word.

159Consider how I love Your precepts;
Revive me, O LORD, according to Your lovingkindness.

160The sum of Your word is truth,
And every one of Your righteous ordinances is everlasting.

Shin.

161Princes persecute me without cause,
But my heart stands in awe of Your words.

162I rejoice at Your word,
As one who finds great spoil.

163I hate and despise falsehood,
But I love Your law.

164Seven times a day I praise You,
Because of Your righteous ordinances.

165Those who love Your law have great peace,
And nothing causes them to stumble.

166I hope for Your salvation, O LORD,
And do Your commandments.

167My soul keeps Your testimonies,
And I love them exceedingly.

168I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies,
For all my ways are before You.

Tav.

169Let my cry come before You, O LORD;
Give me understanding according to Your word.

170Let my supplication come before You;
Deliver me according to Your word.

171Let my lips utter praise,
For You teach me Your statutes.

172Let my tongue sing of Your word,
For all Your commandments are righteousness.

173Let Your hand be ready to help me,
For I have chosen Your precepts.

174I long for Your salvation, O LORD,
And Your law is my delight.

175Let my soul live that it may praise You,
And let Your ordinances help me.

176I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Your servant,
For I do not forget Your commandments.
