Psalm 119:145-152 Part 4

                    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. 
 
Lawless people are coming to attack me; they live far from your instructions.

Be still in the presence of the LORD,

I waited patiently for the LORD to help me,

LORD, you always give me justice
    when I bring a case before you.
So let me bring you this complaint:
Why are the wicked so prosperous?
    Why are evil people so happy?  (see all Jeremiah 12)
 
But you are near, O LORD, and all your commands are true.  
Psalm 34:18  
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted;
    he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.  (see all Psalm 34)

He who gives me justice is near.
    Who will dare to bring charges against me now?
Where are my accusers?
    Let them appear!  (see all Isaiah 50)

Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.  (see all Philippians 4)
