Psalm 119:145-152 Part 2

                    QOPH 
I pray with all my heart; answer me, LORD!
    I will obey your decrees.
I cry out to you; rescue me,
    that I may obey your laws.
I rise early, before the sun is up; 
    I cry out for help and put my hope in your words.
I stay awake through the night,
    thinking about your promise.
In your faithful love, O LORD, hear my cry;
    let me be revived by following your regulations.
Lawless people are coming to attack me;
    they live far from your instructions.
But you are near, O LORD,
    and all your commands are true.
I have known from my earliest days
    that your laws will last forever. 
 
I rise early, before the sun is up; I cry out for help and put my hope in your words.
Psalm 5:3 
Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD.
    Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.  
    (see all Psalm 5)
Psalm 57:8  
Wake up, my heart! 
    Wake up, O lyre and harp!
    I will wake the dawn with my song.  (see all Psalm 57)
 
I stay awake through the night, thinking about your promise.  
Psalm 63:6  
I lie awake thinking of you,
    meditating on you through the night.  (see all Psalm 63)
Psalm 4:4  
Don't sin by letting anger control you.
    Think about it overnight and remain silent.  (see all Psalm 4)
Psalm 16:7  
I will bless the LORD who guides me;
    even at night my heart instructs me.  (see all Psalm 16)
Psalm 77:5-6  
I think of the good old days,
    long since ended,
when my nights were filled with joyful songs.
    I search my soul and ponder the difference now.  (see all Psalm 77)
