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.
