126Time for Jehovah to work! they have made void Thy law.
127Therefore I have loved Thy commands Above gold — even fine gold.
128Therefore all my appointments I have declared wholly right, Every path of falsehood I have hated!
129Pe. Wonderful are Thy testimonies, Therefore hath my soul kept them.
130The opening of Thy words enlighteneth, Instructing the simple.
131My mouth I have opened, yea, I pant, For, for Thy commands I have longed.
132Look unto me, and favour me, As customary to those loving Thy name.
133My steps establish by Thy saying, And any iniquity doth not rule over me.
134Ransom me from the oppression of man, And I observe Thy precepts,
135Thy face cause to shine on Thy servant, And teach me Thy statutes.
136Rivulets of waters have come down mine eyes, Because they have not kept Thy law!
137Tzade. Righteous art Thou, O Jehovah, And upright are Thy judgments.
138Thou hast appointed Thy testimonies, Righteous and exceeding faithful,
139Cut me off hath my zeal, For mine adversaries forgot Thy words.
140Tried is thy saying exceedingly, And Thy servant hath loved it.
141Small I am, and despised, Thy precepts I have not forgotten.
142Thy righteousness is righteousness to the age, And Thy law is truth.
143Adversity and distress have found me, Thy commands are my delights.
144The righteousness of Thy testimonies is to Cause me to understand, and I live!
145Koph. I have called with the whole heart, Answer me, O Jehovah, Thy statutes I keep,
146I have called Thee, save Thou me, And I do keep Thy testimonies.
147I have gone forward in the dawn, and I cry, For Thy word I have hoped.
148Mine eyes have gone before the watches, To meditate in Thy saying.
149My voice hear, according to Thy kindness, Jehovah, according to Thy judgment quicken me.
150Near have been my wicked pursuers, From Thy law they have been far off.
151Near art Thou, O Jehovah, And all Thy commands are truth.
152Of old I have known Thy testimonies, That to the age Thou hast founded them!
153Resh. See my affliction, and deliver Thou me, For Thy law I have not forgotten.
154Plead my plea, and redeem me, According to Thy saying quicken me.
155Far from the wicked is salvation, For Thy statutes they have not sought.
156Thy mercies are many, O Jehovah, According to Thy judgments quicken me.
157Many are my pursuers, and adversaries, From Thy testimonies I have not turned aside.
158I have seen treacherous ones, And grieve myself, Because Thy saying they have not kept.
159See, for thy precepts I have loved, Jehovah, According to Thy kindness quicken me.
160The sum of Thy word is truth, And to the age is every judgment of Thy righteousness!
