139My zeal destroyeth me; because my assailants have forgotten thy words.
140Thy promise is greatly refined, and thy servant loveth it.
141I am little and despised: yet thy precepts have I not forgotten.
142Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
143Distress and trouble have overtaken me: yet are thy commandments my delights.
144Righteous are thy testimonies for everlasting: give me understanding, that I may live.
145KOPH. I have called with all my heart: answer me, O Lord: thy statutes will I keep.
