Psalms 119:149
147 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.
Hear my voice, O LORD, according to Your loving devotion; give me life according to Your justice.
150 Those who follow after wickedness draw near; they are far from Your law.
151 You are near, O LORD, and all Your commandments are true.
