פ PE

129 Your testimonies are wonderful;
Therefore my soul keeps them.
130 The entrance of Your words gives light;
(A)It gives understanding to the (B)simple.
131 I opened my mouth and (C)panted,
For I longed for Your commandments.
132 (D)Look upon me and be merciful to me,
(E)As Your custom is toward those who love Your name.
133 (F)Direct my steps by Your word,
And (G)let no iniquity have dominion over me.
134 (H)Redeem me from the oppression of man,
That I may keep Your precepts.
135 (I)Make Your face shine upon Your servant,
And teach me Your statutes.
136 (J)Rivers of water run down from my eyes,
Because men do not keep Your law.

צ TSADDE

137 (K)Righteous are You, O Lord,
And upright are Your judgments.
138 (L)Your testimonies, which You have commanded,
Are righteous and very faithful.
139 (M)My zeal has [a]consumed me,
Because my enemies have forgotten Your words.
140 (N)Your word is very [b]pure;
Therefore Your servant loves it.
141 I am small and despised,
Yet I do not forget Your precepts.
142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
And Your law is (O)truth.
143 Trouble and anguish have [c]overtaken me,
Yet Your commandments are my delights.
144 The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting;
Give me understanding, and I shall live.
