Verses 145–152 of Psalm 119
The words
I call with all my heart; LORD, answer me, And then all your decrees I will obey. I cry aloud to you, LORD; save my life And I will keep your statutes every day.
I rise before the dawn and cry for help, For I have set my hope upon your word. I stay awake throughout the hours of night, Reflecting on your promises, O LORD.
LORD, in your loving-kindness hear my voice, And in your justice save and keep my life; For those who disregard your holy law Approach with schemes of wickedness and strife.
Yet you are near to those who seek you, LORD; All your commands are true and ever sure. Yes, from your statutes long ago I learned That you have made them always to endure.

How is this list ordered?
Curated pairings come first — a tune a curator recorded against this text, with the fitness they recorded. A tune that merely shares the meter is listed as a tune in the same meter and never as a pairing.
Nothing here is ranked by popularity or use. The page reports what a curator recorded, not a verdict of its own.
