Psalm 119:137–144

137 Righteous art thou, O Lord,

and right are thy judgments.

138 Thou hast appointed thy testimonies in righteousness

and in all faithfulness.

139 My zeal consumes me,

because my foes forget thy words.

140 Thy promise is well tried,

and thy servant loves it.

141 I am small and despised,

yet I do not forget thy precepts.

142 Thy righteousness is righteous for ever,

and thy law is true.

143 Trouble and anguish have come upon me,

but thy commandments are my delight.

144 Thy testimonies are righteous for ever;

give me understanding that I may live.
