Qoph. 

¹⁴⁵ I cried with all my heart; answer me, O Lord!
I will observe Your statutes.

Father, I cry with all my heart; please answer me, Lord!

I’ll listen to you and do whatever you say.

¹⁴⁶ I cried to You; save me
And I shall keep Your testimonies.

Save, me, Lord; I cry to you,

Save me and I will follow you all my days.

¹⁴⁷ I rise before dawn and cry for help;
I wait for Your words.

Early in the morning I cry to you for help;

I wait for your loving words.

¹⁴⁸ My eyes anticipate the night watches,
That I may meditate on Your word.

I lie awake at night praying to you,

And meditating on your word.

¹⁴⁹ Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness;
Revive me, O Lord, according to Your ordinances.

Hear my cry, Lord, with your holy love and grace;

Revive and renew me, Lord, with your holy word.

¹⁵⁰ Those who follow after wickedness draw near;
They are far from Your law.

Many who chase after wickedness invade my world;

They mock you and your law.

¹⁵¹ You are near, O Lord,
And all Your commandments are truth.

Lord, I know you are near,

And I know you and your words are the Truth.

¹⁵² Of old I have known from Your testimonies
That You have founded them forever.

I have known your word from my youth,

Your word is eternal and forever.

But your commandments are amazingly beyond perfect!
