128. Therefore all my appointments I have declared wholly right, Every path of falsehood I have hated!
129. [Pe.] Wonderful [are] Thy testimonies, Therefore hath my soul kept them.
130. The opening of Thy words enlighteneth, Instructing the simple.
131. My mouth I have opened, yea, I pant, For, for Thy commands I have longed.
132. Look unto me, and favour me, As customary to those loving Thy name.
133. My steps establish by Thy saying, And any iniquity doth not rule over me.
134. Ransom me from the oppression of man, And I observe Thy precepts,
135. Thy face cause to shine on Thy servant, And teach me Thy statutes.
136. Rivulets of waters have come down mine eyes, Because they have not kept Thy law!
137. [Tzade.] Righteous [art] Thou, O Jehovah, And upright [are] Thy judgments.
138. Thou hast appointed Thy testimonies, Righteous and exceeding faithful,
139. Cut me off hath my zeal, For mine adversaries forgot Thy words.
140. Tried [is] thy saying exceedingly, And Thy servant hath loved it.
141. Small I [am], and despised, Thy precepts I have not forgotten.
142. Thy righteousness [is] righteousness to the age, And Thy law [is] truth.
