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.
143. Adversity and distress have found me, Thy commands [are] my delights.
144. The righteousness of Thy testimonies [is] to Cause me to understand, and I live!
145. [Koph.] I have called with the whole heart, Answer me, O Jehovah, Thy statutes I keep,
146. I have called Thee, save Thou me, And I do keep Thy testimonies.
147. I have gone forward in the dawn, and I cry, For Thy word I have hoped.
