New American Standard Bible
Chapter 119
147I rise before dawn and cry for help; I wait for Your words. 148My eyes anticipate the night watches, So that I may meditate on Your word. 149Hear my voice according to Your faithfulness; Revive me, Lord, according to Your judgments. 150Those who follow after wickedness approach; They are far from Your Law. 151You are near, Lord, And all Your commandments are truth. 152From long ago I have known from Your testimonies That You have founded them forever. 153Look at my affliction and rescue me, For I have not forgotten Your Law. 154Plead my cause and redeem me; Revive me according to Your word. 155Salvation is far from the wicked, For they do not seek Your statutes. 156 Great are Your mercies, Lord; Revive me according to Your judgments. 157Many are my persecutors and my enemies, Yet I do not turn aside from Your testimonies. 158I see the treacherous and loathe them, Because they do not keep Your word. 159Consider how I love Your precepts; Revive me, Lord, according to Your faithfulness. 160The sum of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments is everlasting. 161Rulers persecute me without cause, But my heart stands in awe of Your words. 162I rejoice at Your word, Like one who finds great plunder. 163I hate and loathe falsehood, But I love Your Law.King James Version
Chapter 119
147I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. 148Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
150They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
151Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.

Chapter 119
147I rise before dawn and cry out for help; I put my hope in your word. 148I am awake through each watch of the night to meditate on your promise. 149In keeping with your faithful love, hear my voice. Lord, give me life in keeping with your justice. 150Those who pursue evil plans come near; they are far from your instruction. 151You are near, Lord, and all your commands are true. 152Long ago I learned from your decrees that you have established them forever. 153Consider my affliction and rescue me, for I have not forgotten your instruction. 154Champion my cause and redeem me; give me life as you promised. 155Salvation is far from the wicked because they do not study your statutes. 156Your compassions are many, Lord; give me life according to your judgments. 157My persecutors and foes are many. I have not turned from your decrees. 158I have seen the disloyal and feel disgust because they do not keep your word. 159Consider how I love your precepts; Lord, give me life according to your faithful love. 160The entirety of your word is truth, each of your righteous judgments endures forever. 161Princes have persecuted me without cause, but my heart fears only your word. 162I rejoice over your promise like one who finds vast treasure. 163I hate and abhor falsehood, but I love your instruction.New Living Translation
Chapter 119
147I rise early, before the sun is up; I cry out for help and put my hope in your words. 148I stay awake through the night, thinking about your promise. 149In your faithful love, O Lord, hear my cry; let me be revived by following your regulations. 150Lawless people are coming to attack me; they live far from your instructions. 151But you are near, O Lord, and all your commands are true. 152I have known from my earliest days that your laws will last forever.
153Look upon my suffering and rescue me, for I have not forgotten your instructions.
154Argue my case; take my side! Protect my life as you promised.
155The wicked are far from rescue, for they do not bother with your decrees.
156Lord, how great is your mercy; let me be revived by following your regulations.
157Many persecute and trouble me, yet I have not swerved from your laws.
158Seeing these traitors makes me sick at heart, because they care nothing for your word.
159See how I love your commandments, Lord. Give back my life because of your unfailing love.
160The very essence of your words is truth; all your just regulations will stand forever.

153Look on my affliction and deliver me, for I do not forget your law.
