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 loving-kindness: 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.
ר 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.
Many _are_ my persecutors and mine enemies; _yet_ do I not decline
from thy testimonies.
I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy
word.
Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy
loving-kindness.
Thy word _is_ true _from_ the beginning: and every one of thy
righteous judgments _endureth_ for ever.
ש SCHIN.
Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in
awe of thy word.
