143 Trouble and anguish have
1 overtaken me,
Yet Your commandments
are my delights.

is everlasting;
Give me understanding, and I shall live.
ק Qoph
145 I cry out with
my whole heart;
Hear me, O
Lord!
I will keep Your statutes.
146 I cry out to You;
Save me, and I will keep Your testimonies.
147 aI rise before the dawning of the morning,
And cry for help;
I hope in Your word.
148 aMy eyes are awake through the
night watches,
That I may meditate on Your word.
149 Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness;
O
Lord, revive me according to Your justice.
150 They draw near who follow after wickedness;
They are far from Your law.
151 You
are anear, O
Lord,
And all Your commandments
are truth.
152 Concerning Your testimonies,
I have known of old that You have founded them
aforever.
ר Resh
153 aConsider my affliction and deliver me,
For I do not forget Your law.
154 aPlead my cause and redeem me;
Revive me according to Your word.
