Psalm 119: 145-152

XIX (Koph)

I call with all my heart; Lord, hear me,
I will keep Your commands.
I call upon You, save me
and I will do Your will.

I rise before dawn and cry for help,
I hope in Your word.
My eyes watch through the night
to ponder Your promise.

In Your love hear my voice, O Lord;
give me life by Your degrees.
Those who harm me unjustly draw near:
they are far from Your law.

But You, O Lord, are close:
Your commands are truth.
Long have I known that Your will
is established for ever.
