Psalm 119:145–149

¹⁴⁵I call with all my heart; answer me, O LORD!

I will obey Your statutes.

¹⁴⁶I call to You; save me,

that I may keep Your testimonies.

¹⁴⁷I rise before dawn and cry for help;

in Your word I have put my hope.

¹⁴⁸My eyes anticipate the watches of night,

that I may meditate on Your word.

¹⁴⁹Hear my voice, O LORD, according to Your loving devotion;

give me life according to Your justice.
