145 With my whole heart I cried, Lord, hear; I will thy word obey.146 I cried to thee; save me, and I will keep thy laws alway.147 I of the morning did prevent the dawning, and did cry: For all mine expectätion did on thy word rely.148 Mine eyes did timeously prevent the watches of the night, That in thy word with careful mind then meditate I might.149 After thy loving-kindness hear my voice, that calls on thee: According to thy judgment, Lord, revive and quicken me.150 Who follow mischief they draw nigh; they from thy law are far:151 But thou art near, Lord; most firm truth all thy commandments are.152 As for thy testimonies all, of old this have I tried, That thou hast surely founded them for ever to abide.

145 ¶ KOPH. I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.147 ¶ I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.149 ¶ Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.150 ¶ They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.152 ¶ Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
