¹⁴⁵ With my ^(A)whole heart I cry; answer me, O Lord!
    I will ^(B)keep your statutes.
¹⁴⁶ I call to you; save me,
    that I may observe your testimonies.
¹⁴⁷ I rise before ^(C)dawn and cry for help;
    I ^(D)hope in your words.
¹⁴⁸ My eyes are awake before ^(E)the watches of the night,
    that I may meditate on your promise.
¹⁴⁹ Hear my voice according to your steadfast love;
    O Lord, ^(F)according to your justice ^(G)give me life.
¹⁵⁰ They draw near who persecute me with evil purpose;
    they are far from your law.
¹⁵¹ But ^(H)you are near, O Lord,
    and all your commandments are ^(I)true.
¹⁵² Long have I known from your testimonies
    that you have ^(J)founded them forever.

    for ^(L)I do not forget your law.
^154 (M)Plead my cause and redeem me;
    ^(N)give me life according to your promise!
^155 (O)Salvation is far from the wicked,
    ^(P)for they do not seek your statutes.
^156 (Q)Great is your mercy, O Lord;
    ^(R)give me life according to your rules.
^157 (S)Many are my persecutors and my adversaries,
    but I do not ^(T)swerve from your testimonies.
¹⁵⁸ I look at ^(U)the faithless with ^(V)disgust,
    because they do not keep your commands.
¹⁵⁹ Consider how I ^(W)love your precepts!
    ^(X)Give me life, O Lord, according to your steadfast love.
^160 (Y)The sum of your word is ^(Z)truth,
    and every one of your ^(AA)righteous rules endures forever.
