131 I pant with expectation, longing for your commands.

132 Come and show me your mercy, as you do for all who love your name.

133 Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by evil.

134 Ransom me from the oppression of evil people; then I can obey your commandments.

135 Look upon me with love; teach me your decrees.

136 Rivers of tears gush from my eyes because people disobey your instructions.

137 O LORD, you are righteous, and your regulations are fair.

138 Your laws are perfect and completely trustworthy.

139 I am overwhelmed with indignation, for my enemies have disregarded your words.

140 Your promises have been thoroughly tested; that is why I love them so much.

141 I am insignificant and despised, but I don’t forget your commandments.

142 Your justice is eternal, and your instructions are perfectly true.

143 As pressure and stress bear down on me, I find joy in your commands.

144 Your laws are always right; help me to understand them so I may live.

145 I pray with all my heart; answer me, LORD ! I will obey your decrees.

146 I cry out to you; rescue me, that I may obey your laws.

147 I rise early, before the sun is up; I cry out for help and put my hope in your words.

148 I stay awake through the night, thinking about your promise.

149 In your faithful love, O LORD, hear my cry; let me be revived by following your regulations.

150 Lawless people are coming to attack me; they live far from your instructions.

151 But you are near, O LORD, and all your commands are true.

152 I have known from my earliest days that your laws will last forever.

153 Look upon my suffering and rescue me, for I have not forgotten your instructions.

154 Argue my case; take my side! Protect my life as you promised.

155 The wicked are far from rescue, for they do not bother with your decrees.

156 LORD, how great is your mercy; let me be revived by following your regulations.

157 Many persecute and trouble me, yet I have not swerved from your laws.

158 Seeing these traitors makes me sick at heart, because they care nothing for your word.

159 See how I love your commandments, LORD . Give back my life because of your unfailing love.

160 The very essence of your words is truth; all your just regulations will stand forever.

161 Powerful people harass me without cause, but my heart trembles only at your word.

162 I rejoice in your word like one who discovers a great treasure.

163 I hate and abhor all falsehood, but I love your instructions.

164 I will praise you seven times a day because all your regulations are just.

165 Those who love your instructions have great peace and do not stumble.

166 I long for your rescue, LORD, so I have obeyed your commands.

167 I have obeyed your laws, for I love them very much.

168 Yes, I obey your commandments and laws because you know everything I do.

169 O LORD, listen to my cry; give me the discerning mind you promised.

170 Listen to my prayer; rescue me as you promised.

171 Let praise flow from my lips, for you have taught me your decrees.

172 Let my tongue sing about your word, for all your commands are right.

173 Give me a helping hand, for I have chosen to follow your commandments.

174 O LORD, I have longed for your rescue, and your instructions are my delight.

175 Let me live so I can praise you, and may your regulations help me.

176 I have wandered away like a lost sheep; come and find me, for I have not forgotten your commands.
