137  ^hRighteous are you, O Lord,

and right are your rules.

138  You have appointed your testimonies in ⁱrighteousness

and in all ^jfaithfulness.

139  My ^kzeal consumes me,

because my foes forget your words.

140  Your promise is well ^ltried,

and your servant ^mloves it.

141  I am small and despised,

yet I do not ⁿforget your precepts.

142  Your righteousness is righteous forever,

and your law is ^otrue.

143  Trouble and anguish have found me out,

but your commandments are my ^pdelight.

144  Your testimonies are righteous forever;

^qgive me understanding that I may ^rlive.
