Psalm 119:129–144

¹²⁹Thy testimonies are wonderful; therefore doth my soul observe them.

¹³⁰The entrance of thy words giveth light, giving understanding unto the simple.

¹³¹I opened my mouth wide and panted; for I longed for thy commandments.

¹³²Turn unto me, and be gracious unto me, as thou art wont to do unto those that love thy name.

¹³³Establish my steps in thy •word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

¹³⁴Deliver me from the oppression of man; and I will keep thy precepts.

¹³⁵Make thy face to shine upon thy servant, and teach me thy statutes.

¹³⁶Mine eyes run down with streams of water, because they keep not thy law.

¹³⁷Righteous art thou, Jehovah, and upright are thy judgments. ¹³⁸Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness and exceeding faithfulness.

¹³⁹My zeal destroyeth me, because mine oppressors have forgotten thy words.

¹⁴⁰Thy •word is exceeding pure, and thy servant loveth it.

¹⁴¹I am little and despised: thy precepts have I not forgotten.

¹⁴²Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is truth.

¹⁴³Trouble and anguish have taken hold upon me: thy commandments are my delights. ¹⁴⁴The righteousness of thy testimonies is for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live.
