127Therefore do I love thy commandments more than gold, and more than fine gold.
128Therefore do I esteem all thy precepts in all things as right: every path of falsehood do I hate.
129PE. Wonderful are thy testimonies: therefore doth my soul keep them.
130The opening of thy words giveth light, it giveth understanding unto the simple.
131I opened my mouth, and panted for breath; because for thy commandments did I long.
132Turn thou unto me, and be gracious unto me, as is thy wont unto those that love thy name.
133My steps establish thou through thy promise, and suffer not any wrong to have dominion over me.
134Deliver me from the oppression of man, and I will observe thy precepts.
135Let thy face shine upon thy servant, and teach me thy statutes.
136Streams of water have run down my eyes; because they had not observed thy law.
137TZADDE. Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are thy decrees.
138Thou hast commanded thy testimonies, as righteous and faithful exceedingly.
139My zeal destroyeth me; because my assailants have forgotten thy words.
140Thy promise is greatly refined, and thy servant loveth it.
141I am little and despised: yet thy precepts have I not forgotten.
142Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
143Distress and trouble have overtaken me: yet are thy commandments my delights.
144Righteous are thy testimonies for everlasting: give me understanding, that I may live.
145KOPH. I have called with all my heart: answer me, O Lord: thy statutes will I keep.
146I have called on thee, save me, and I will observe thy testimonies.
147I come before thee in the dawn of morning, and cry: for thy word do I wait.
