137. Lord, you do what is right, and your decisions are fair.

138. The rules you have given us are right. We can trust them completely.

139. Something that really upsets me is the thought that my enemies ignore your commands.

140. I love your word. Time and again it has been proven true.

141. I am young, and people don’t respect me. But I have not forgotten your instructions.

142. Your goodness is forever, and your teachings can be trusted.

143. Even though I have troubles and hard times, your commands give me joy.

144. Your rules are always right. Help me understand them so that I can live.

145. Lord, I call to you with all my heart. Answer me, and I will obey your laws.

146. I call to you. Save me, and I will obey your rules.

147. I get up early in the morning to pray to you. I trust what you say.

148. Late into the night I stay awake to think about your word.

149. I know your love is true, so listen to me. Lord, you always do what is right, so let me live.

150. Here come those who have evil plans to hurt me. They live far away from your teachings.

151. But you are near me, Lord, and all your commands can be trusted.

152. Long ago, I learned from your rules that you made them to last forever.

153. Look at my suffering and rescue me. I have not forgotten your teachings.
