^145With my whole heart I cry'd, Lord, hear;

I will thy word obey.

^146I cry'd to thee; save me, and I

will keep thy laws alway.

^147I of the morning did prevent

the dawning, and did cry:

For all mine expectation

did on thy word rely.

^148Mine eyes did timeously prevent

the watches of the night,

That in thy word with careful mind

then meditate I might.

^149After thy loving-kindness hear

my voice, that calls on thee:

According to thy judgment, Lord,

revive and quicken me.

^150Who follow mischief they draw nigh;

they from thy law are far:

^151But thou art near, Lord; most firm truth

all thy commandments are.

^152As for thy testimonies all,

of old this have I try'd,

That thou hast surely founded them

for ever to abide.
