125
I am Your servant; Give me understanding, That I may know Your testimonies.
126
It is time for You to act, O Lord, For they have regarded Your law as void.
127
Therefore I love Your commandments More than gold, yes, than fine gold!
128
Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things I consider to be right; I hate every false way.
129
Your testimonies are wonderful; Therefore my soul keeps them.
130
The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.
131
I opened my mouth and panted, For I longed for Your commandments.
132
Look upon me and be merciful to me, As Your custom is toward those who love Your name.
133
Direct my steps by Your word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me.
134
Redeem me from the oppression of man, That I may keep Your precepts.
135
Make Your face shine upon Your servant, And teach me Your statutes.
136
Rivers of water run down from my eyes, Because men do not keep Your law.
137
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.
154
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.
