137 Righteous are you, O Lord, ♦︎
and true are your judgements.
138 You have ordered your decrees in righteousness ♦︎
and in great faithfulness.
139 My indignation destroys me, ♦︎
because my adversaries forget your word.
140 Your word has been tried to the uttermost ♦︎
and so your servant loves it.
141 I am small and of no reputation, ♦︎
yet do I not forget your commandments.
142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness ♦︎
and your law is the truth.
143 Trouble and heaviness have taken hold upon me, ♦︎
yet my delight is in your commandments.
144 The righteousness of your testimonies is everlasting; ♦︎
O grant me understanding and I shall live.
145 I call with my whole heart; ♦︎
answer me, O Lord, that I may keep your statutes.
146 To you I call, O save me! ♦︎
And I shall keep your testimonies.
147 Early in the morning I cry to you, ♦︎
for in your word is my trust.
148 My eyes are open before the night watches, ♦︎
that I may meditate on your word.
149 Hear my voice, O Lord, according to your faithful love; ♦︎
according to your judgement, give me life.
150 They draw near that in malice persecute me, ♦︎
who are far from your law.
151 You, O Lord, are near at hand, ♦︎
and all your commandments are true.
152 Long have I known of your testimonies, ♦︎
that you have founded them for ever.

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