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.
155Salvation is far from the wicked; for they seek not Thy statutes.
156Great are Thy compassions, O LORD; quicken me as Thou art wont.
157Many are my persecutors and mine adversaries; yet have I not turned aside from Thy testimonies.
158I beheld them that were faithless, and strove with them; because they observed not Thy word.
159O see how I love Thy precepts; quicken me, O LORD, according to Thy lovingkindness.
160The beginning of Thy word is truth; and all Thy righteous ordinance endureth for ever.
161SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but my heart standeth in awe of Thy words.
162I rejoice at Thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
163I hate and abhor falsehood; Thy law do I love.
164Seven times a day do I praise Thee, because of Thy righteous ordinances.
165Great peace have they that love Thy law; and there is no stumbling for them.
166I have hoped for Thy salvation, O LORD, and have done Thy commandments.
167My soul hath observed Thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
168I have observed Thy precepts and Thy testimonies; for all my ways are before Thee.
169TAV. Let my cry come near before Thee, O LORD; give me understanding according to Thy word.
170Let my supplication come before Thee; deliver me according to Thy word.
171Let my lips utter praise: because Thou teachest me Thy statutes.
172Let my tongue sing of Thy word; for all Thy commandments are righteousness.
173Let Thy hand be ready to help me; for I have chosen Thy precepts.
174I have longed for Thy salvation, O LORD; and Thy law is my delight.
