136. My eyes have gushed like springs of water, because they have not kept your law.
137. SADE. You are just, O Lord, and your judgment is right.
138. You have commanded justice: your testimonies and your truth even more so.
139. My zeal has caused me to pine away, because my enemies have forgotten your words.
140. Your eloquence has been greatly enflamed, and your servant has loved it.
141. I am young and treated with contempt. But I have not forgotten your justifications.
142. Your justice is justice for all eternity, and your law is truth.
143. Tribulation and anguish have found me. Your commandments are my meditation.
144. Your testimonies are fairness unto eternity. Give me understanding, and I will live.
145. COPH. I cried out with my whole heart. Heed me, O Lord. I will ask for your justifications.
146. I cried out to you. Save me, so that I may keep your commandments.
147. I arrived first in maturity, and so I cried out. For in your words, I have hoped beyond hope.
