I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.
Mine eyes prevent the [night] watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.
They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
Thou [art] near, O LORD; and all thy commandments [are] truth.
Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.
Salvation [is] far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
Great [are] thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.
