Psalm 119:137-144

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹³⁷ Righteous art thou, O Lord,
    and right are thy judgments.
¹³⁸ Thou hast appointed thy testimonies in righteousness
    and in all faithfulness.
¹³⁹ My zeal consumes me,
    because my foes forget thy words.
¹⁴⁰ Thy promise is well tried,
    and thy servant loves it.
¹⁴¹ I am small and despised,
    yet I do not forget thy precepts.
¹⁴² Thy righteousness is righteous for ever,
    and thy law is true.
¹⁴³ Trouble and anguish have come upon me,
    but thy commandments are my delight.
¹⁴⁴ Thy testimonies are righteous for ever;
    give me understanding that I may live.
