Tsadhe.

^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.

¹⁴⁵I cried ^awith all my heart; answer me, O Lord!

I will ^bobserve Your statutes.

¹⁴⁶I cried to You; ^asave me

And I shall keep Your testimonies.

¹⁴⁷I ^1arise before dawn and cry for help;

I ²wait for Your words.

¹⁴⁸My eyes anticipate the ^anight watches,

That I may ^bmeditate on Your ¹word.

¹⁴⁹Hear my voice ^aaccording to Your lovingkindness;

^bRevive me, O Lord, according to Your ordinances.

¹⁵⁰Those who follow after wickedness draw near;

They are far from Your law.

¹⁵¹You are ^anear, O Lord,

And all Your commandments are ^btruth.

¹⁵²Of old I have ^aknown from Your testimonies

That You have founded them ^bforever.
