With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O LORD! I will keep your statutes. I call to you; save me, that I may observe your testimonies. I rise before dawn and cry for help; I hope in your words. My eyes are awake before the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promise. Hear my voice according to your steadfast love; O LORD, according to your justice give me life. They draw near who persecute me with evil purpose; they are far from your law. But you are near, O LORD, and all your commandments are true. Long have I known from your testimonies that you have founded them forever.
I cry, I keep, I call, I observe, I hope, I meditate on Your statutes, on Your law, on Your commandments, on Your testimonies, on Your precepts, on Your promises, on Your love, on Your justice, on Your righteousness, on Your mercy, on Your grace, on Your goodness, on Your perfection, on You, the Author and Perfecter of my faith.
