I called with all my heart; * answer me, Yahweh, * that I may observe your rules.

I called you; save me, * that I may keep to your terms.

I faced you at dawn and cried for help; * for your words I waited.

My eyes faced you through the night watches; * as I meditated on your promise.

In your kindness hear my voice; * Yahweh, in your justice preserve my life.

Pursuers of idols draw near; * from your law they have gone far.

But you are the Near One, Yahweh, * and all your commandments are truth.

O Beginning, I acknowledge your terms, * because you established them from eternity.
