121 I have done what is just and right; ♦︎
O give me not over to my oppressors.
122 Stand surety for your servants good; ♦︎
let not the proud oppress me.
123 My eyes fail with watching for your salvation ♦︎
and for your righteous promise.
124 O deal with your servant according to your faithful love ♦︎
and teach me your statutes.
125 I am your servant; O grant me understanding, ♦︎
that I may know your testimonies.
126 It is time for you to act, O Lord, ♦︎
for they frustrate your law.
127 Therefore I love your commandments ♦︎
above gold, even much fine gold.
128 Therefore I direct my steps by all your precepts, ♦︎
and all false ways I utterly abhor.
129 Your testimonies are wonderful; ♦︎
therefore my soul keeps them.
130 The opening of your word gives light; ♦︎
it gives understanding to the simple.
131 I open my mouth and draw in my breath, ♦︎
as I long for your commandments.
132 Turn to me and be gracious to me, ♦︎
as is your way with those who love your name.
133 Order my steps by your word, ♦︎
and let no wickedness have dominion over me.
134 Redeem me from earthly oppressors ♦︎
so that I may keep your commandments.
135 Show the light of your countenance upon your servant ♦︎
and teach me your statutes.
136 My eyes run down with streams of water, ♦︎
because the wicked do not keep your law.
