145\u00a0<\/sup>I cry out with my whole heart;<\/span><\/em>
\nHear me, O Lord<\/span>!<\/span><\/em>
\nI will keep Your statutes.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

146 <\/sup>I cry out to You;<\/span><\/em>
\nSave me, and I will keep Your testimonies.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

147 <\/sup>I rise before the dawning of the morning,<\/span><\/em>
\nAnd cry for help;<\/span><\/em>
\nI hope in Your word.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

148 <\/sup>My eyes are awake through the night watches,<\/span><\/em>
\nThat I may meditate on Your word.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

149 <\/sup>Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness;<\/span><\/em>
\nO Lord<\/span>, revive me according to Your justice.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

150 <\/sup>They draw near who follow after wickedness;<\/span><\/em>
\nThey are far from Your law.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

151 <\/sup>You are near, O Lord<\/span>,<\/span><\/em>
\nAnd all Your commandments are truth.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

152 <\/sup>Concerning Your testimonies,<\/span><\/em>
\nI have known of old that You have founded them forever.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

Much of this stanza is about the intensity of the psalmist’s desire for God and His Word.<\/h3>\n

founded (v.152) = established, fixed<\/h3>\n

The theme of [this] stanza is the relationship which the Messiah establishes between prayer and the Bible in circumstances of danger and opposition. … Messiah here (vs.147-148) states that ere darkness fell He read the Bible each evening and meditated therein, and that before morning dawned He was found upon His knees; and He states that His reason for so acting was because He believed and confided in and counted upon its Divine promises (v.147). …<\/span><\/h3>\n

“According to” occurs twice in verse 149). It first measures the boundlessness of God’s love, and then the boundaries of His judgment. … Those who pursued Messiah in order to injure Him were murderously near to Him and far from the Bible (v.150); but Jehovah was near also. His commandments were truth; the enemies’ falsehood (v.151). \u2014 Williams, pages 397-398.<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
