Psalms 119:147
145 I call with all my heart; answer me, O LORD! I will obey Your statutes.
146 I call to You; save me, that I may keep Your testimonies.
I rise before dawn and cry for help; in Your word I have put my hope.
148 My eyes anticipate the watches of night, that I may meditate on Your word.
149 Hear my voice, O LORD, according to Your loving devotion; give me life according to Your justice.
