122. Be surety for Your servant for good [as Judah was surety for the safety of Benjamin]; let not the proud oppress me. [Gen. 43:9.]
123. My eyes fail, watching for Your salvation and for the fulfillment of Your righteous promise.
124. Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy and loving-kindness, and teach me Your statutes.
125. I am Your servant; give me understanding (discernment and comprehension), that I may know (discern and be familiar with the character of) Your testimonies.
126. It is time for the Lord to act; they have frustrated Your law.
127. Therefore I love Your commandments more than [resplendent] gold, yes, more than [perfectly] refined gold.
128. Therefore I esteem as right all, yes, all Your precepts; I hate every false way.
129. Your testimonies are wonderful [far exceeding anything conceived by man]; therefore my [penitent] self keeps them [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying them].
130. The entrance and unfolding of Your words give light; their unfolding gives understanding (discernment and comprehension) to the simple.
