Psalms 119:127-144

¹²⁷Therefore I loved thy command-ments; more than gold and topaz.

¹²⁸Therefore I was dressed to all thy behests; I hated all wicked way.

¹²⁹Pe. Lord, thy witnessings be wonderful; therefore my soul sought those or them.

¹³⁰Declaring of thy words lighteneth; and it giveth understanding to meek men.

¹³¹I opened my mouth, and drew the spirit; for I desired thy commandments.

¹³²Behold thou on me, and have mercy on me; by the doom of them that love thy name.

¹³³Dress thou my goings by thy speech; that all unrightfulness have not lordship on me.

¹³⁴Again-buy thou me from the false challenges of men; that I keep thy behests.

¹³⁵Lighten thy face on thy servant; and teach thou me thy justifyings.

¹³⁶Mine eyes led forth the outgoings of waters; for they kept not thy law.

¹³⁷Tzaddi. Lord, thou art just or rightwise; and thy doom is rightful or right.

¹³⁸Thou hast commanded rightfulness or rightwiseness, thy witnessings; and thy truth greatly to be kept.

¹³⁹My fervent love made me to be melted, either languished; for mine enemies forgat thy words.

¹⁴⁰Thy speech is set afire; and thy servant loved it.

¹⁴¹I am young, and despised; I forgat not thy justifyings.

¹⁴²Lord, thy rightfulness or rightwise-ness is rightfulness or rightwiseness without end; and thy law is truth.

¹⁴³Tribulation and anguish have found me; thy behests is my thinking.

¹⁴⁴Thy witnessings is equity without end; give thou understanding to me, and I shall live.
