Psalm 119:137-144

137 You ever righteous are, O LORD; and all your judgments upright stand.
138 Your righteous testimonies all you do in faithfulness command.
139 By zeal I am consumed, because your words mine adversaries spurn.
140 Your promise is so very pure, toward it your servant loves to turn.

141 Though I am small and much despised, your precepts I do not forget.
142 Eternal is your righteousness; your law in truth is firmly set.
143 Distress and anguish have me found, yet joy by your commands you give.
144 Your testimonies righteous are; O make me wise that I may live.

Psalm 119: 121-128

121 To others I have judgment done, performing what is right;
       O do not then deliver me to my oppressor's might.

122 Be surety for your servant's good; from proud oppressors free;
123 your saving help and righteous word my failing eyes would see.

124 In mercy with your servant deal; your statutes to me show;
125 I am your servant; wisdom give that I your laws may know.

126 'Tis time you work, O LORD, for they make void your law divine.
127 Your precepts therefore more I love than gold, yea, gold most fine.

128 Concerning all things your commands I therefore judge are right;
       and ev'ry false and wicked way is hateful in my sight.
