139My passion has overcome me; because my haters are turned away from your words.
140Your word is of tested value; and it is dear to your servant.
141I am small and of no account; but I keep your orders in mind.
142Your righteousness is an unchanging righteousness, and your law is certain.
143Pain and trouble have overcome me: but your teachings are my delight.
144The righteousness of your unchanging word is eternal; give me wisdom so that I may have life.
145KOPH I have made my prayer with all my heart; give answer to me, O Lord: I will keep your rules.
146My cry has gone up to you; take me out of trouble, and I will be guided by your unchanging word.
147Before the sun is up, my cry for help comes to your ear; my hope is in your words.
148In the night watches I am awake, so that I may give thought to your saying.
149Let my voice come to you, in your mercy; O Lord, by your decisions give me life.
150Those who have evil designs against me come near; they are far from your law.
151You are near, O Lord; and all your teachings are true.
152I have long had knowledge that your unchanging word is for ever.
153RESH O see my trouble, and be my saviour; for I keep your law in my mind,
154Undertake my cause, and come to my help, give me life, as you have said.
155Salvation is far from evil-doers; for they have made no search for your rules.
156Great is the number of your mercies, O Lord; give me life in keeping with your decisions.
157Great is the number of those who are against me; but I have not been turned away from your unchanging word.
158I saw with hate those who were untrue to you; for they did not keep your saying.
159See how great is my love for your orders: give me life, O Lord, in keeping with your mercy.
160Your word is true from the first; and your upright decision is unchanging for ever.
161SHIN Rulers have been cruel to me without cause; but I have the fear of your word in my heart.
162I am delighted by your saying, like a man who makes discovery of great wealth.
163I am full of hate and disgust for false words; but I am a lover of your law.
164Seven times a day do I give you praise, because of your upright decisions.
165Great peace have lovers of your law; they have no cause for falling.
166Lord, my hope has been in your salvation; and I have kept your teachings.
167My soul has kept your unchanging word; great is my love for it.
168I have been ruled by your orders; for all my ways are before you.
