141I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
142Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is truth.
143Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delight.
144Thy testimonies are righteous for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live.
145I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.
146I have called unto thee; save me, and I shall observe thy testimonies.
147I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy words.
148Mine eyes prevented the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
149Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy judgments.
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.
