Psalms 119:141-151

141 I am unimportant and hated, but I have not forgotten your orders.
142 Your goodness continues forever, and your teachings are true.
143 I have had troubles and misery, but I love your commands.
144 Your rules are always good. Help me understand so I can live.
145 Lord, I call to you with all my heart. Answer me, and I will keep your demands.
146 I call to you. Save me so I can obey your rules.
147 I wake up early in the morning and cry out. I hope in your word.
148 I stay awake all night so I can think about your promises.
149 Listen to me because of your love; Lord, give me life by your laws.
150 Those who love evil are near, but they are far from your teachings.
151 But, Lord, you are also near, and all your commands are true.
