Psalms 119:150

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.

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.

152 Long ago I learned from Your testimonies that You have established them forever.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
