Psalms 119:129-147

¹²⁹PE Your unchanging word is full of wonder; for this reason my soul keeps it.

¹³⁰The opening of your words gives light; it gives good sense to the simple.

¹³¹My mouth was open wide, waiting with great desire for your teachings.

¹³²Let your eyes be turned to me, and have mercy on me, as it is right for you to do to those who are lovers of your name.

¹³³Let my steps be guided by your word; and let not sin have control over me.

¹³⁴Make me free from the cruel rule of man; then I will keep your orders.

¹³⁵Let your servant see the shining of your face; give me knowledge of your rules.

¹³⁶Rivers of water are flowing from my eyes, because men do not keep your law.

¹³⁷TZADE O Lord, great is your righteousness, and upright are your decisions.

¹³⁸You have given your unchanging word in righteousness, and it is for ever.

¹³⁹My passion has overcome me; because my haters are turned away from your words.

¹⁴⁰Your word is of tested value; and it is dear to your servant.

¹⁴¹I am small and of no account; but I keep your orders in mind.

¹⁴²Your righteousness is an unchanging righteousness, and your law is certain.

¹⁴³Pain and trouble have overcome me: but your teachings are my delight.

¹⁴⁴The righteousness of your unchanging word is eternal; give me wisdom so that I may have life.

¹⁴⁵KOPH I have made my prayer with all my heart; give answer to me, O Lord: I will keep your rules.

¹⁴⁶My cry has gone up to you; take me out of trouble, and I will be guided by your unchanging word.

¹⁴⁷Before the sun is up, my cry for help comes to your ear; my hope is in your words.
