ק Qoph

¹⁴⁵I call with all my heart; answer me, Lord.

I will obey your statutes.^az

¹⁴⁶I call to you; save me,

and I will keep your decrees.^a

¹⁴⁷I rise before dawn and cry out for help;^b

I put my hope in your word.

¹⁴⁸I am awake through each watch of the night

to meditate on your promise.^c

¹⁴⁹In keeping with your faithful love, hear my voice.

Lord, give me life in keeping with your justice.^d

¹⁵⁰Those who pursue evil plans^Ae come near;

they are far from your instruction.

¹⁵¹You are near, Lord,^f

and all your commands are true.^g

¹⁵²Long ago I learned from your decrees

that you have established them forever.^h

ר Resh

¹⁵³Consider my affliction and rescue me,ⁱ

for I have not forgotten your instruction.^j

¹⁵⁴Champion my cause and redeem me;^k

give me life as you promised.

¹⁵⁵Salvation is far from the wicked

because they do not study your statutes.^l

¹⁵⁶Your compassions are many, Lord;^m

give me life according to your judgments.

¹⁵⁷My persecutors and foes are many.ⁿ

I have not turned from your decrees.^o

¹⁵⁸I have seen the disloyal^p and feel disgust^q

because they do not keep your word.

¹⁵⁹Consider how I love your precepts;

Lord, give me life according to your faithful love.^r

¹⁶⁰The entirety of your word is truth,

each of your righteous judgments endures forever.^s
