Psalms 119:137-144

137You are righteous, O Lord, and your regulations are fair.

138You have issued your written instructions. They are fair and completely dependable.

139My devotion ⌞for your words⌟ consumes me, because my enemies have forgotten your words.

140Your promise has been thoroughly tested, and I love it.

141I am unimportant and despised, ⌞yet⌟ I never forget your guiding principles.

142Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and your teachings are reliable.

143Trouble and hardship have found me, but your commandments ⌞still⌟ make me happy.

144Your written instructions are always right. Help me understand ⌞them⌟ so that I will live.
