¹ I rise before dawn and cry [in prayer] for help; I wait for Your word.

² My eyes anticipate the night watches and I awake before the call of the watchman, That I may meditate on Your word.

³ Hear my voice according to Your [steadfast] lovingkindness; O LORD, renew and refresh me according to Your ordinances.

⁴ Those who follow after wickedness approach; They are far from Your law.

⁵ You are near, O LORD, And all Your commandments are truth.

⁶ Of old I have known from Your testimonies That You have founded them forever.

⁷ Resh. Look upon my agony and rescue me, For I do not forget Your law.

⁸ Plead my cause and redeem me; Revive me and give me life according to [the promise of] Your word.

⁹ Salvation is far from the wicked, For they do not seek Your statutes.

¹⁰ Great are Your tender mercies and steadfast love, O LORD; Revive me and give me life according to Your ordinances.

¹¹ Many are my persecutors and my adversaries, Yet I do not turn away from Your testimonies.

¹² I see the treacherous and loathe them, Because they do not respect Your law.

¹³ Consider how I love Your precepts; Revive me and give me life, O LORD, according to Your lovingkindness.

¹⁴ The sum of Your word is truth [the full meaning of all Your precepts], And every one of Your righteous ordinances endures forever.

¹⁵ Shin. Princes persecute me without cause, But my heart stands in [reverent] awe of Your words [so I can expect You to help me].

¹⁶ I rejoice at Your word, As one who finds great treasure.

¹⁷ I hate and detest falsehood, But I love Your law.

¹⁸ [5] Seven times a day I praise You, Because of Your righteous ordinances.

¹⁹ Those who love Your law have great peace; Nothing makes them stumble.

²⁰ I hope and wait [with complete confidence] for Your salvation, O LORD, And I do Your commandments.

²¹ My soul keeps Your testimonies [hearing and accepting and obeying them]; I love them greatly.

²² I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, For all my ways are [fully known] before You.

²³ Tav. Let my [mournful] cry come before You, O LORD; Give me understanding [the ability to learn and a teachable heart] according to Your word [of promise].
