Vs. 145 — I cry out with my whole heart; Hear me, O Lord! I will keep Your statutes.

Prayer:

To my God I cry out with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord! I will keep Your statutes. Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. Give heed to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, for to You I will pray. You I seek. You I need. You I desire. Cause my heart to thirst for Your statutes and my whole being to embrace Your word. Then and there I find peace and in no other place. For it is there that I can always find You, and hear You speaking words of grace to me.
