121 I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.

122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.

123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.

124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.

125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.

126 It is time for thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void thy law.

127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.

128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

Ayin

121 Juicio y justicia he hecho;

No me abandones a mis opresores.

122 Afianza a tu siervo para bien;

No permitas que los soberbios me opriman.

123 Mis ojos desfallecieron por tu salvación,

Y por la palabra de tu justicia.

124 Haz con tu siervo según tu misericordia,

Y enséñame tus estatutos.

125 Tu siervo soy yo, dame entendimiento

Para conocer tus testimonios.

126 Tiempo es de actuar, oh Jehová,

Porque han invalidado tu ley.

127 Por eso he amado tus mandamientos

Más que el oro, y más que oro muy puro.

128 Por eso estimé rectos todos tus mandamientos sobre todas las cosas,

Y aborrecí todo camino de mentira.
