Psalm 119:148-150
New Catholic Bible
148 My eyes are awake before each watch of the night[a]
so that I may meditate on your word.
149 In accordance with your kindness[b] hear my voice, O Lord;
grant me life in accordance with your judgments.
150 [c]Those who plot wickedness draw near me,
but they are far from your law.

- Psalm 119:150 Although the wicked are closing in on the psalmist, he remains serene, for the Lord is also near to protect him (see Pss 69:19; 73:28). The wicked will get nowhere, for they break the statutes of the Lord (v. 150: are far from your law), which were meant to last forever.
