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.
145KOPH. I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O LORD; I will keep Thy statutes.
146I have called Thee, save me, and I will observe Thy testimonies.
147I rose early at dawn, and cried; I hoped in Thy word.
148Mine eyes forestalled the night-watches, that I might meditate in Thy word.
149Hear my voice according unto Thy lovingkindness; quicken me, O LORD, as Thou art wont.
150They draw nigh that follow after wickedness; they are far from Thy law.
151Thou art nigh, O LORD; and all Thy commandments are truth.
152Of old have I known from Thy testimonies that Thou hast founded them for ever.
153RESH. O see mine affliction, and rescue me; for I do not forget Thy law.
154Plead Thou my cause, and redeem me; quicken me according to Thy word.
