¹²⁵I am your servant. Give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies.

¹²⁶It is time to act, Adonai , for they break your Torah ·Teaching·.

¹²⁷Therefore I 'ahav ·affectionately love· your mitzvot ·instructions· more than gold, yes, more than pure gold.

¹²⁸Therefore I consider all of your precepts to be right. I hate every false way. PEH or FEH

¹²⁹Your testimonies are wonderful, therefore my soul keeps them.

¹³⁰The entrance of your words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple.

¹³¹I opened my mouth wide and panted, for I longed for your mitzvot ·instructions·.

¹³²Turn to me, and be merciful towards me, as you always do mishpat ·justice· to those who 'ahav ·affectionately love· your name.

¹³³Establish my footsteps in your word. Don’t let any iniquity have dominion over me.

¹³⁴Redeem me from the oppression of man, so I will observe your precepts.

¹³⁵Make your face shine on your servant. Teach me your statutes.

¹³⁶Streams of tears run down my eyes, because they don’t observe your Torah ·Teaching·. TZADI

¹³⁷You are righteous, Adonai . Your judgments are upright.

¹³⁸Your testimonies you have enjoined are in righteousness. They are fully trustworthy.

¹³⁹My zeal wears me out, because my enemies ignore your words.

¹⁴⁰Your promises have been thoroughly tested, and your servant 'ahav ·affectionately loves· them.

¹⁴¹I am small and despised. I don’t forget your precepts.

¹⁴²Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness. Your Torah ·Teaching· is truth.

¹⁴⁴Your testimonies are righteous forever. Give me understanding, that I may live. KOF or KUF

¹⁴⁵Wholeheartedly I am calling on you; Answer me, Adonai ! I will keep your statutes.
