Psalm 119:137–144

Righteous are you, O Lord,

and right are your rules.

You have appointed your testimonies in righteousness

and in all faithfulness.

My zeal consumes me,

because my foes forget your words.

Your promise is well tried,

and your servant loves it.

I am small and despised,

yet I do not forget your precepts.

Your righteousness is righteous forever,

and your law is true.

Trouble and anguish have found me out,

but your commandments are my delight.

Your testimonies are righteous forever;

give me understanding that I may live.

You are righteous, Lord,

and your laws are right.

The statutes you have laid down are righteous;

they are fully trustworthy.

My zeal wears me out,

for my enemies ignore your words.

Your promises have been thoroughly tested,

and your servant loves them.

Though I am lowly and despised,

I do not forget your precepts.

Your righteousness is everlasting

and your law is true.

Trouble and distress have come upon me,

but your commands give me delight.

Your statutes are always righteous;

give me understanding that I may live.

You are righteous, Lord,

and your judgments are just.

The decrees you issue are righteous

and altogether trustworthy.

My anger overwhelms me

because my foes forget your words.

Your word is completely pure,

and your servant loves it.

I am insignificant and despised,

but I do not forget your precepts.

Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,

and your instruction is true.

Trouble and distress have overtaken me,

but your commands are my delight.

Your decrees are righteous forever.

Give me understanding, and I will live.

O Lord, you are righteous,

and your regulations are fair.

Your laws are perfect

and completely trustworthy.

I am overwhelmed with indignation,

for my enemies have disregarded your words.

Your promises have been thoroughly tested;

that is why I love them so much.

I am insignificant and despised,

but I don’t forget your commandments.

Your justice is eternal,

and your instructions are perfectly true.

As pressure and stress bear down on me,

I find joy in your commands.

Your laws are always right;

help me to understand them so I may live.

You are righteous, O Yahweh,

and your ordinances are upright.

You have ordained your testimonies in righteousness,

and in exceeding faithfulness.

My zeal consumes me,

because my enemies have forgotten your words.

Your word is very pure,

and your servant loves it.

I am small and despised,

yet I do not forget your precepts.

Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,

and your law is truth.

Trouble and anguish have found me;

your commands delight me.

The righteousness of your testimonies is forever;

give me understanding that I may live.

TZADDI.

Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are thy judgments.

Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous

And very faithful.

My zeal hath consumed me,

Because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.

Thy word is very pure:

Therefore thy servant loveth it.

I am small and despised:

Yet do not I forget thy precepts.

Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,

And thy law is the truth.

Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me:

Yet thy commandments are my delights.

The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting:

Give me understanding, and I shall live.
