Psalm 119:129-140

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹²⁹ Your decrees are wonderful;
    therefore my soul keeps them.^(A)
130 The unfolding of your words gives light;
    it imparts understanding to the simple.^(B)
131 With open mouth I pant,
    because I long for your commandments.^(C)
132 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
    as is your custom toward those who love your name.^(D)
133 Keep my steps steady according to your promise,
    and never let iniquity have dominion over me.^(E)
134 Redeem me from human oppression,
    that I may keep your precepts.^(F)
135 Make your face shine upon your servant,
    and teach me your statutes.^(G)
136 My eyes shed streams of tears
    because your law is not kept.^(H)

¹³⁷ You are righteous, O Lord,
    and your judgments are right.^(I)
138 You have appointed your decrees in righteousness
    and in all faithfulness.^(J)
139 My zeal consumes me
    because my foes forget your words.^(K)
140 Your promise is well tried,
    and your servant loves it.^(L)
