130The opening of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
131I opened wide my mouth, and panted; for I longed for Thy commandments.
132Turn Thee towards me, and be gracious unto me, as is Thy wont to do unto those that love Thy name.
133Order my footsteps by Thy word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
134Redeem me from the oppression of man, and I will observe Thy precepts.
135Make Thy face to shine upon Thy servant; and teach me Thy statutes.
136Mine eyes run down with rivers of water, because they observe not Thy law.
137TZADE. Righteous art Thou, O LORD, and upright are Thy judgments.
138Thou hast commanded Thy testimonies in righteousness and exceeding faithfulness.
139My zeal hath undone me, because mine adversaries have forgotten Thy words.
140Thy word is tried to the uttermost, and Thy servant loveth it.
141I am small and despised; yet have I not forgotten Thy precepts.
142Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Thy law is the truth.
143Trouble and anguish have overtaken me; yet Thy commandments are my delight.
144Thy testimonies are righteous for ever; give me understanding, and I shall live.
