126It is time for the LORD to work; for they have made void thy law.
127Therefore I love thy commandments above gold, yea, above fine gold.
128Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.
129Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
130The opening of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
131I opened wide my mouth, and panted; for I longed for thy commandments.
132Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
133Order my footsteps in thy word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
134Redeem me from the oppression of man: so will I observe thy precepts.
135Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
136Mine eyes run down with rivers of water, because they observe not thy law.
137Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.
138Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness and very faithfulness.
139My zeal hath consumed me, because mine adversaries have forgotten thy words.
140Thy word is very pure; therefore thy servant loveth it.
141I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
142Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is truth.
143Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delight.
