ק Qoph

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

I will obey your statutes.az

146 I call to you; save me,

and I will keep your decrees.a

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

I put my hope in your word.

148 I am awake through each watch of the night

to meditate on your promise.c

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

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

150 Those who pursue evil plansA,e come near;

they are far from your instruction.

151 You are near, Lord,f

and all your commands are true.g

152 Long ago I learned from your decrees

that you have established them forever.h
