Psalm 119:137-144

New American Standard Bible

Tsadhe

¹³⁷^(A)You are righteous, Lord,
And Your judgments are right.
¹³⁸You have commanded Your testimonies in ^(B)righteousness
And great ^(C)faithfulness.
¹³⁹My ^(D)zeal has ^[a]consumed me,
Because my enemies have forgotten Your words.
¹⁴⁰Your ^(E)word is very ^[b]pure,
Therefore Your servant ^(F)loves it.
¹⁴¹I am small and ^(G)despised,
Yet I do not ^(H)forget Your precepts.
¹⁴²Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
And ^(I)Your Law is truth.
¹⁴³Trouble and anguish have ^[c]come upon me,
Yet Your commandments are my ^(J)delight.
¹⁴⁴Your ^(K)testimonies are righteous forever;
^(L)Give me understanding that I may live.

Zaccheus Converted

19 Jesus ^(A)entered Jericho and was passing through. ²And ^[a]there was a man called by the name of Zaccheus; he was a chief tax collector and he was rich. ³Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, and he was unable due to the crowd, because he was short in stature. ⁴So he ran on ahead and climbed up a ^[b]^(B)sycamore tree in order to see Him, because He was about to pass through that way. ⁵And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, “Zaccheus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” ⁶And he hurried and came down, and received Him ^[c]joyfully. ⁷When the people saw this, they all began to complain, saying, “He has gone in ^[d]to be the guest of a man who is a sinner!” ⁸But Zaccheus stopped and said to ^(C)the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I am giving to the poor, and if I have ^(D)extorted anything from anyone, I am giving back ^(E)four times as much.” ⁹And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is ^(F)a son of Abraham. ¹⁰For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
