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.
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.
