144
Thy testimonies are righteous for ever; give me understanding that I may live.
145
With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O LORD! I will keep thy statutes.
146
I cry to thee; save me, that I may observe thy testimonies.
147
I rise before dawn and cry for help; I hope in thy words.
148
My eyes are awake before the watches of the night, that I may meditate upon thy promise.
