145 [Koph.] I have called with the whole heart, Answer me, O Jehovah, Thy statutes I keep,

146 I have called Thee, save Thou me, And I do keep Thy testimonies.

147 I have gone forward in the dawn, and I cry, For Thy word I have hoped.

148 Mine eyes have gone before the watches, To meditate in Thy saying.

149 My voice hear, according to Thy kindness, Jehovah, according to Thy judgment quicken me.

150 Near have been my wicked pursuers, From Thy law they have been far off.

151 Near [art] Thou, O Jehovah, And all Thy commands [are] truth.

152 Of old I have known Thy testimonies, That to the age Thou hast founded them!

153 [Resh.] See my affliction, and deliver Thou me, For Thy law I have not forgotten.

154 Plead my plea, and redeem me, According to Thy saying quicken me.

155 Far from the wicked [is] salvation, For Thy statutes they have not sought.

156 Thy mercies [are] many, O Jehovah, According to Thy judgments quicken me.

157 Many [are] my pursuers, and adversaries, From Thy testimonies I have not turned aside.

158 I have seen treacherous ones, And grieve myself, Because Thy saying they have not kept.

159 See, for thy precepts I have loved, Jehovah, According to Thy kindness quicken me.

160 The sum of Thy word [is] truth, And to the age [is] every judgment of Thy righteousness!

161 [Shin.] Princes have pursued me without cause, And because of Thy words was my heart afraid.

162 I do rejoice concerning Thy saying, As one finding abundant spoil.

163 Falsehood I have hated, yea I abominate [it], Thy law I have loved.

164 Seven [times] in a day I have praised Thee, Because of the judgments of Thy righteousness.

165 Abundant peace have those loving Thy law, And they have no stumbling-block.

166 I have waited for Thy salvation, O Jehovah, And Thy commands I have done.

167 Kept hath my soul Thy testimonies, And I do love them exceedingly.

168 I have kept Thy precepts and Thy testimonies, For all my ways are before Thee!

169 [Taw.] My loud cry cometh near before Thee, O Jehovah; According to Thy word cause me to understand.

170 My supplication cometh in before Thee, According to Thy saying deliver Thou me.

171 My lips do utter praise, For Thou dost teach me Thy statutes.

172 My tongue doth sing of Thy saying, For all Thy commands [are] righteous.

173 Thy hand is for a help to me, For Thy commands I have chosen.

174 I have longed for Thy salvation, O Jehovah, And Thy law [is] my delight.

175 My soul liveth, and it doth praise Thee, And Thy judgments do help me.

176 I wandered as a lost sheep, seek Thy servant, For Thy precepts I have not forgotten!
