129  Your testimonies are ^twonderful;

therefore my soul ^ukeeps them.

130  The unfolding of your words gives light;

it imparts ^vunderstanding to the simple.

131  I ^wopen my mouth and ^xpant,

because I ^ylong for your commandments.

132  ^zTurn to me and be gracious to me,

as is your way with those who love your name.

133  ^aKeep steady my steps according to your promise,

and let no iniquity ^bget dominion over me.

134  ^cRedeem me from man’s oppression,

that I may keep your precepts.

135  ^dMake your face shine upon your servant,

and ^eteach me your statutes.

136  My eyes ^fshed streams of tears,

because people ^gdo not keep your law.
