Psalm 119:130-142 American Standard Version (ASV)

130. The opening of thy words giveth light; It giveth understanding unto the simple.

132. Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me, As thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

133. Establish my footsteps in thy word; And let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

134. Redeem me from the oppression of man: So will I observe thy precepts.

135. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; And teach me thy statutes.

136. Streams of water run down mine eyes, Because they observe not thy law.

137. Righteous art thou, O Jehovah, And upright are thy judgments.

138. Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness And very faithfulness.

139. My zeal hath consumed me, Because mine adversaries have forgotten thy words.

140. Thy word is very pure; Therefore thy servant loveth it.

141. I am small and despised; Yet do I not forget thy precepts.

142. Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And thy law is truth.
