138. You have commanded righteousness, Your testimonies, and great faithfulness.
139. My zeal has consumed me, because my foes forgot Your words.
140. Your word is thoroughly refined, and Your servant loves it.
141. I am insignificant and despised, yet I have not forgotten Your precepts.
142. Your justice is righteousness forever, and Your Torah is truth.
143. Trouble and anguish have overtaken me, yet Your mitzvot are my delight.
144. Your testimonies are righteous forever —make me understand, so I may live.
145. I cried out with all my heart, “Answer me, Adonai! I will keep Your decrees.”
