Psalms 119:136-146

136 My tears pour down like a river, because people do not obey your law.
137 You are righteous, Lord, and your laws are just.
138 The rules that you have given are completely fair and right.
139 My anger burns in me like a fire, because my enemies disregard your commands.
140 How certain your promise is! How I love it!
141 I am unimportant and despised, but I do not neglect your teachings.
142 Your righteousness will last forever, and your law is always true.
143 I am filled with trouble and anxiety, but your commandments bring me joy.
144 Your instructions are always just; give me understanding, and I shall live.
145 With all my heart I call to you; answer me, Lord, and I will obey your commands!
146 I call to you; save me, and I will keep your laws.
