123My eyes grow tired as I wait for your salvation and for your righteous word.
124Show your servant your covenant faithfulness, and teach me your statutes.
125I am your servant; give me understanding so that I may know your covenant decrees.
126It is time for Yahweh to act, for people have broken your law.
127Truly I love your commandments more than gold, more than fine gold.
128Therefore I carefully follow all your instructions, and I hate every path of falsehood.
129Your rules are wonderful, that is why I obey them.
130The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the untrained.
131I open my mouth and pant, for I long for your commandments.
132Turn to me and have mercy on me, as you always do for those who love your name.
133Direct my footsteps by your word; do not let any sin rule me.
134Redeem me from human oppression so that I may observe your instructions.
135Let your face shine on your servant, and teach me your statutes.
136Streams of tears run down from my eyes because people do not observe your law.
137You are righteous, Yahweh, and your decrees are fair.
