145 I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord: I will keep thy statutes.

146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.

147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.

148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O Lord, quicken me according to thy judgment.

150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.

151 Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments are truth.

152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.

Cof

145 Clamé con todo mi corazón; respóndeme, Jehová,

Y guardaré tus estatutos.

146 A ti clamé; sálvame,

Y guardaré tus testimonios.

147 Me anticipé al alba, y clamé;

Esperé en tu palabra.

148 Se anticiparon mis ojos a las vigilias de la noche,

Para meditar en tus mandatos.

149 Oye mi voz conforme a tu misericordia;

Oh Jehová, vivifícame conforme a tu juicio.

150 Se acercaron a la maldad los que me persiguen;

Se alejaron de tu ley.

151 Cercano estás tú, oh Jehová,

Y todos tus mandamientos son verdad.

152 Hace ya mucho que he entendido tus testimonios,

Que para siempre los has establecido.
