¹³⁷You are righteous, O Lord,
   and your judgements are right.
¹³⁸You have appointed your decrees in righteousness
   and in all faithfulness.
¹³⁹My zeal consumes me
   because my foes forget your words.
¹⁴⁰Your promise is well tried,
   and your servant loves it.
¹⁴¹I am small and despised,
   yet I do not forget your precepts.
¹⁴²Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
   and your law is the truth.
¹⁴³Trouble and anguish have come upon me,
   but your commandments are my delight.
¹⁴⁴Your decrees are righteous for ever;
   give me understanding that I may live.
