Psalm 119:137–152

¹³⁷Righteous art thou, O Jehovah,

And upright are thy judgments.

¹³⁸Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness

And very faithfulness.

¹³⁹My zeal hath consumed me,

Because mine adversaries have forgotten thy words.

¹⁴⁰Thy word is very pure;

Therefore thy servant loveth it.

¹⁴¹I am small and despised;

Yet do I not forget thy precepts.

¹⁴²Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,

And thy law is truth.

¹⁴³Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me;

Yet thy commandments are my delight.

¹⁴⁴Thy testimonies are righteous for ever:

Give me understanding, and I shall live.

¹⁴⁵I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O Jehovah:

I will keep thy statutes.

¹⁴⁶I have called unto thee; save me,

And I shall observe thy testimonies.

¹⁴⁷I anticipated the dawning of the morning, and cried:

I hoped in thy words.

¹⁴⁸Mine eyes anticipated the night-watches,

That I might meditate on thy word.

¹⁴⁹Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness:

Quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thine ordinances.

¹⁵⁰They draw nigh that follow after wickedness;

They are far from thy law.

¹⁵¹Thou art nigh, O Jehovah;

And all thy commandments are truth.

¹⁵²Of old have I known from thy testimonies,

That thou hast founded them for ever.
