145 With my whole heart I cried, Lord, hear; I will thy word obey. 146 I cried to thee; save me, and I will keep thy laws alway. 147 I of the morning did prevent the dawning, and did cry: For all mine expectätion did on thy word rely. 148 Mine eyes did timeously prevent the watches of the night, That in thy word with careful mind then meditate I might. 149 After thy loving-kindness hear my voice, that calls on thee: According to thy judgment, Lord, revive and quicken me. 150 Who follow mischief they draw nigh; they from thy law are far: 151 But thou art near, Lord; most firm truth all thy commandments are. 152 As for thy testimonies all, of old this have I tried, That thou hast surely founded them for ever to abide.
