Psalm 119:137-151 American Standard Version (ASV)

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.

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.

149. Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: Quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thine ordinances.

150. They draw nigh that follow after wickedness; They are far from thy law.

151. Thou art nigh, O Jehovah; And all thy commandments are truth.
