KOPH.

145  I cried with my whole heart;

Hear me, O Lord: I will rkeep thy statutes.

146  I cried unto thee; save me,

||And I shall keep thy testimonies.

147  I sprevented tthe dawning of the morning, and cried:

I uhoped in thy word.

148  Mine eyes sprevent wthe night watches,

That I might xmeditate in thy word.

149  Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness:

O Lord, yquicken me zaccording to thy judgment.

150  They draw nigh that follow after mischief:

They are far from thy law.

151  aThou art near, O Lord;

And all thy commandments are btruth.

152  Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old

cThat thou hast dfounded them for ever.
