147 I rose before the dawn, and cried out for help; I hoped in Thy Davar.

148 Mine eyes are awake through the ashmurot (night watches), that I might meditate on Thy word.

149 Hear my voice according unto Thy chesed; Hashem, revive me according to Thy mishpat.

150 They draw near that follow after wicked schemes; they are far from Thy torah.

151 Thou art karov (near), Hashem; and all Thy mitzvot are emes.

152 Concerning Thy edot (testimonies), I have known of old that Thou hast founded them forever. RESH

153 Consider mine oni (affliction), and deliver me; for I do not forget Thy torah.

154 Plead my cause; for me make go’el redemption; revive me according to Thy word.

155 Yeshuah (salvation) is far from the resha’im, for they seek not Thy chukkot.

156 Great are Thy rachamim, Hashem; revive me according to Thy mishpatim.

157 Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not turn aside from Thy edot.

158 I beheld the bogedim, and was grieved because they were not shomer over Thy word.

159 Consider how I love Thy pikkudim; revive me, Hashem, according to Thy chesed.

160 Thy word is emes from the beginning; and every one of Thy righteous mishpatim endureth forever. SHIN

161 Sarim (princes) have persecuted me without a cause; but my lev standeth in awe of Thy Davar.

162 I rejoice at Thy imrah (word), as one that findeth great plunder.

163 I hate and abhor sheker; but Thy torah do I love.

164 Shevah times a day do I praise Thee because of Thy righteous mishpatim.

165 Great shalom have they which love Thy torah; nothing shall cause them to stumble.

166 Hashem, I have hoped for Thy Yeshuah (salvation), and do Thy mitzvot.

167 My nefesh is shomer over Thy edot (testimonies); and I love them exceedingly.

168 I have kept Thy pikkudim and Thy edot; for all my ways are before Thee. TAV

169 Let my cry come near before Thee, Hashem; give me understanding according to Thy Davar.

170 Let my techinnah come before Thee; deliver me according to Thy word.

171 My lips shall utter tehillah, when Thou hast taught me Thy chukkot.

172 My leshon shall speak of Thy word; for all Thy mitzvot are tzedek.

173 Let Thine Yad help me; for I have chosen Thy pikkudim.

174 I have longed for Thy Yeshuah (salvation), Hashem; and Thy torah is my delight.

175 Let my nefesh live, and it shall praise Thee; and let Thy mishpatim sustain me.

176 I have gone astray like a seh oved (lost sheep); seek Thy eved; for I do not forget Thy mitzvot.
