145  With my whole heart I cried, Lord, hear;
        I will thy word obey.
146  I cried to thee; save me, and I
        will keep thy laws alway.
147  I of the morning did prevent
        the dawning, and did cry:
     For all mine expectätion
        did on thy word rely.

148  Mine eyes did timeously prevent
        the watches of the night,
     That in thy word with careful mind
        then meditate I might.
149  After thy loving-kindness hear
        my voice, that calls on thee:
     According to thy judgment, Lord,
        revive and quicken me.

150  Who follow mischief they draw nigh;
        they from thy law are far:
151  But thou art near, Lord; most firm truth
        all thy commandments are.
152  As for thy testimonies all,
        of old this have I tried,
     That thou hast surely founded them
        for ever to abide.
