With my whole
heart I cry; answer me, O Lord.
I will keep your statutes.
I cry to you; save
me, that I may observe your decrees.
I rise before dawn
and cry for help; I put my hope in your words.
My eyes are awake
before each watch of the night, that I may meditate on your promise.
In your steadfast
love hear my voice; O Lord,
in your justice preserve my life.
Those who
persecute me with evil purpose draw near; they are far from your law.
Yet you are near,
O Lord, and all your
commandments are true.
Long ago I learned
from your decrees that you have established them forever.
