Psalms 119:148-158

148 I stayed awake all night, prayerfully pondering your promise.

148 My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises.

149 In your love, listen to me; in your justice, God, keep me alive.

149 Hear my voice in accordance with your love; preserve my life, LORD, according to your laws.

150 As those out to get me come closer and closer, they go farther and farther from the truth you reveal;

150 Those who devise wicked schemes are near, but they are far from your law.

151 But you're the closest of all to me, God, and all your judgments true.

151 Yet you are near, LORD, and all your commands are true.

152 I've known all along from the evidence of your words that you meant them to last forever.

152 Long ago I learned from your statutes that you established them to last forever.

153 Take a good look at my trouble, and help me - I haven't forgotten your revelation.

153 Look on my suffering and deliver me, for I have not forgotten your law.

154 Take my side and get me out of this; give me back my life, just as you promised.

154 Defend my cause and redeem me; preserve my life according to your promise.

155 "Salvation" is only gibberish to the wicked because they've never looked it up in your dictionary.

155 Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek out your decrees.

156 Your mercies, God, run into the billions; following your guidelines, revive me.

156 Your compassion, LORD, is great; preserve my life according to your laws.

157 My antagonists are too many to count, but I don't swerve from the directions you gave.

157 Many are the foes who persecute me, but I have not turned from your statutes.

158 I took one look at the quitters and was filled with loathing; they walked away from your promises so casually!

158 I look on the faithless with loathing, for they do not obey your word.
