120 I trembleD in awe of you;s

I fear your judgments.

121 I have done what is just and right;t

do not leave me to my oppressors.

122 Guarantee your servant’s well-being;u

do not let the arrogant oppress me.

123 My eyes grow wearyv looking for your salvation

and for your righteous promise.

124 Deal with your servant based on your faithful love;w

teach me your statutes.

125 I am your servant;x give me understandingy

so that I may know your decrees.

126 It is time for the Lord to act,z

127 Since I love your commandsaa

more than gold, even the purest gold,

128 I carefully follow all your preceptsab

and hate every false way.ac

פ Pe

therefore I obey them.ae

130 The revelation of your wordsaf brings light

and gives understanding to the inexperienced.ag

131 I open my mouth and pantah

because I long for your commands.

132 Turn to me and be gracious to me,ai

as is your practice toward those who love your name.

133 Make my steps steady through your promise;aj

don’t let any sin dominate me.ak

134 Redeem me from human oppression,al

and I will keep your precepts.

135 Make your face shine on your servant,am

and teach me your statutes.an

136 My eyes pour out streams of tearsao

because people do not follow your instruction.

צ Tsade

137 You are righteous, Lord,ap

and your judgments are just.

138 The decrees you issue are righteous

and altogether trustworthy.aq

139 My anger overwhelms me

because my foes forget your words.ar

140 Your word is completely pure,as

and your servant loves it.at

141 I am insignificant and despised,au

but I do not forget your precepts.av

142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,

and your instruction is true.aw

143 Trouble and distress have overtaken me,

but your commands are my delight.ax

144 Your decrees are righteous forever.ay

Give me understanding, and I will live.

ק Qoph

145 I call with all my heart; answer me, Lord.

I will obey your statutes.az

146 I call to you; save me,

and I will keep your decrees.a

147 I rise before dawn and cry out for help;b

I put my hope in your word.

148 I am awake through each watch of the night

to meditate on your promise.c

149 In keeping with your faithful love, hear my voice.

Lord, give me life in keeping with your justice.d

150 Those who pursue evil plansA,e come near;

they are far from your instruction.
