Psalm 118:138-144 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.
