Psalm 119:145–160

ק Qof

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

I will obey Your statutes. ^r

¹⁴⁶I call to You; save me,

and I will keep Your decrees. ^s

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

I put my hope in Your word.

¹⁴⁸I am awake through each watch of the night

to meditate on Your promise. ^u

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

Lord, give me life in keeping with Your justice. ^v

¹⁵⁰Those who pursue evil plans ^wxcome near;

they are far from Your instruction.

¹⁵¹You are near, Lord, ^y

and all Your commands are true. ^z

¹⁵²Long ago I learned from Your decrees

that You have established them forever. ^a

ר Resh

¹⁵³Consider my affliction and rescue me, ^b

for I have not forgotten Your instruction. ^c

¹⁵⁴Defend my cause and redeem me; ^d

give me life as You promised.

¹⁵⁵Salvation is far from the wicked

because they do not seek Your statutes. ^e

¹⁵⁶Your compassions are many, Lord; ^f

give me life according to Your judgments.

¹⁵⁷My persecutors and foes are many. ^g

I have not turned from Your decrees. ^h

¹⁵⁸I have seen the disloyal ⁱand feel disgust ^j

because they do not keep Your word.

¹⁵⁹Consider how I love Your precepts;

Lord, give me life according to Your faithful love. ^k

¹⁶⁰The entirety of Your word is truth,

and all Your righteous judgments endure forever. ^l
