130The communication of thy precepts giveth light; It giveth understanding to the simple.
131I open my mouth and pant: For I long for thy commandments.
132Look thou upon me, and be gracious to me, As is just to those who love thy name!
133Establish my footsteps in thy word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me!
134Redeem me from the oppression of men, So will I keep thy precepts!
135Let thy face shine on thy servant, And teach me thy statutes!
136Rivers of water run down mine eyes, Because men keep not thy law.
137Righteous art thou, O LORD! And just are thy judgments!
138Just are the ordinances which thou hast ordained, And altogether righteous.
139My zeal consumeth me, Because my enemies forget thy word.
140Thy word is very pure, Therefore thy servant loveth it.
141Of mean condition am I, and despised; Yet do I not forget thy precepts.
142Thy righteousness is everlasting righteousness, And thy law is truth.
143Trouble and anguish have taken hold of me, But thy laws are my delight.
144The justice of thine ordinances is everlasting; Give me understanding, and I shall live!
