Psalm 119:145-152

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴⁵ With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O Lord!
    I will keep thy statutes.
¹⁴⁶ I cry to thee; save me,
    that I may observe thy testimonies.
¹⁴⁷ I rise before dawn and cry for help;
    I hope in thy words.
¹⁴⁸ My eyes are awake before the watches of the night,
    that I may meditate upon thy promise.
¹⁴⁹ Hear my voice in thy steadfast love;
    O Lord, in thy justice preserve my life.
¹⁵⁰ They draw near who persecute me with evil purpose;
    they are far from thy law.
¹⁵¹ But thou art near, O Lord,
    and all thy commandments are true.
¹⁵² Long have I known from thy testimonies
    that thou hast founded them for ever.
