144. The righteousness of Thy testimonies [is] to Cause me to understand, and I live!
145. [Koph.] I have called with the whole heart, Answer me, O Jehovah, Thy statutes I keep,
146. I have called Thee, save Thou me, And I do keep Thy testimonies.
147. I have gone forward in the dawn, and I cry, For Thy word I have hoped.
