Righteous are You, O Lord, And upright are Your judgments.
138
Your testimonies, which You have commanded, Are righteous and very faithful.
139
My zeal has consumed me, Because my enemies have forgotten Your words.
140
Your word is very pure; Therefore Your servant loves it.
141
I am small and despised, Yet I do not forget Your precepts.
142
Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And Your law is truth.
143
Trouble and anguish have overtaken me, Yet Your commandments are my delights.
144
The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting; Give me understanding, and I shall live.
145
I cry out with my whole heart; Hear me, O Lord! I will keep Your statutes.
146
I cry out to You; Save me, and I will keep Your testimonies.
147
I rise before the dawning of the morning, And cry for help; I hope in Your word.
148
My eyes are awake through the night watches, That I may meditate on Your word.
149
Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness; O Lord, revive me according to Your justice.
150
They draw near who follow after wickedness; They are far from Your law.
151
You are near, O Lord, And all Your commandments are truth.
152
Concerning Your testimonies, I have known of old that You have founded them forever.
153
Consider my affliction and deliver me, For I do not forget Your law.

Plead my cause and redeem me; Revive me according to Your word.
155
Salvation is far from the wicked, For they do not seek Your statutes.
156
Great are Your tender mercies, O Lord; Revive me according to Your judgments.
157
Many are my persecutors and my enemies, Yet I do not turn from Your testimonies.
