134
Redeem me from human oppression, that I may obey your precepts.
135
Make your face shine on your servant and teach me your decrees.
136
Streams of tears flow from my eyes, for your law is not obeyed.
137
You are righteous, LORD, and your laws are right.
138
The statutes you have laid down are righteous; they are fully trustworthy.
139
My zeal wears me out, for my enemies ignore your words.
140
Your promises have been thoroughly tested, and your servant loves them.
141
Though I am lowly and despised, I do not forget your precepts.
142
Your righteousness is everlasting and your law is true.
143
Trouble and distress have come upon me, but your commands give me delight.
144
Your statutes are always righteous; give me understanding that I may live.
145
I call with all my heart; answer me, LORD, and I will obey your decrees.
146
I call out to you; save me and I will keep your statutes.
147
I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word.
148
My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises.
149
Hear my voice in accordance with your love; preserve my life, LORD, according to your laws.
150
Those who devise wicked schemes are near, but they are far from your law.
151
Yet you are near, LORD, and all your commands are true.
152
Long ago I learned from your statutes that you established them to last forever.
153
Look on my suffering and deliver me, for I have not forgotten your law.
154
Defend my cause and redeem me; preserve my life according to your promise.
