142. Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And thy law is truth.
143. Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me; Yet thy commandments are my delight.
144. Thy testimonies are righteous for ever: Give me understanding, and I shall live.
145. I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O Jehovah: I will keep thy statutes.
146. I have called unto thee; save me, And I shall observe thy testimonies.
147. I anticipated the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy words.
148. Mine eyes anticipated the night-watches, That I might meditate on thy word.
