Psalm 119:145-152 Part 5

                    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 have known from my earliest days that your laws will last forever.
