ק (Qof)

145 I cried out with my whole being, “Answer me, Yahweh,

I will keep your regulations.

146 I call out to you—save me,

so that I can keep what you’ve revealed to us.

147 I rise before the dawn and cry out for help.

I put my hope in your words.

148 I stay awake through the night hours

in order to meditate on what you’ve said.

149 Apply your loyal commitment to listening to my voice.

Yahweh, preserve my life according to your justice.

150 Those pursuing wickedness are coming near.

They wander far from your instructions.

151 You are near, Yahweh,

and all your commands are reliable.

152 Long ago I learned from the things that you revealed

that you had established them forever.
