¹⁴⁵ Wholeheartedly I am calling on you;
answer me, Adonai; I will keep your laws.
¹⁴⁶ I am calling on you; save me;
and I will observe your instruction.
¹⁴⁷ I rise before dawn and cry for help;
I put my hope in your word.
¹⁴⁸ My eyes are open before the night watches,
so that I can meditate on your promise.
¹⁴⁹ In your grace, hear my voice;
Adonai, in keeping with your justice, revive me.
¹⁵⁰ The pursuers of carnality are getting close;
they are distancing themselves from your Torah.
¹⁵¹ You are close by, Adonai;
and all your mitzvot are truth.
¹⁵² Long ago I learned from your instruction
that you established it forever.

¹⁵³ Look at my distress, and rescue me,
for I do not forget your Torah.

in keeping with your promise, revive me.
¹⁵⁵ Salvation is far away from the wicked,
because they don’t seek your laws.
¹⁵⁶ Great is your compassion, Adonai;
in keeping with your rulings, revive me.
¹⁵⁷ Although my persecutors and foes are many,
I have not turned away from your instruction.
¹⁵⁸ I look at traitors with disgust,
because they don’t keep your word.
¹⁵⁹ See how I love your precepts, Adonai;
in keeping with your grace, revive me.
¹⁶⁰ The main thing about your word is that it’s true;
and all your just rulings last forever.
