Psalms 119:131-144
-
131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
-
132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
-
133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
-
134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
-
135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
-
136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
-
137 Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.
-
138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.
-
139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
-
140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
-
141 I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
-
142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
-
143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.
-
144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
