Psalm 119:129–144

Pe.

¹²⁹Your testimonies are ^awonderful;

Therefore my soul ^bobserves them.

¹³⁰The ^aunfolding of Your words gives light;

It gives ^bunderstanding to the simple.

¹³¹I ^aopened my mouth wide and ^bpanted,

For I ^clonged for Your commandments.

^132aTurn to me and be gracious to me,

After Your manner ¹with those who love Your name.

¹³³Establish my ^afootsteps in Your ¹word,

And do not let any iniquity ^bhave dominion over me.

^134aRedeem me from the oppression of man,

That I may keep Your precepts.

^135aMake Your face shine upon Your servant,

And ^bteach me Your statutes.

¹³⁶My eyes ¹shed ^astreams of water,

Because they ^bdo not keep Your law.

^137aRighteous are You, O Lord,

And upright are Your judgments.

¹³⁸You have commanded Your testimonies in ^arighteousness

And exceeding ^bfaithfulness.

¹³⁹My ^azeal has ¹consumed me,

Because my adversaries have forgotten Your words.

¹⁴⁰Your ^1aword is very ²pure,

Therefore Your servant ^bloves it.

¹⁴¹I am small and ^adespised,

Yet I do not ^bforget Your precepts.

¹⁴²Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,

And ^aYour law is truth.

¹⁴³Trouble and anguish have ¹come upon me,

Yet Your commandments are my ^adelight.

¹⁴⁴Your ^atestimonies are righteous forever;

^bGive me understanding that I may live.
