127. Therefore thy precepts more I lovethan gold, yea, gold most fine.

128. Concerning all things thy commandsall right I judge therefore;And ev'ry false and wicked wayI perfectly abhor.

129. Thy statutes, Lord, are wonderful,my soul them keeps with care.

130. The entrance of thy words gives light,makes wise who simple are.

131. My mouth I have wide opened,and panted earnestly,While after thy commandementsI long'd exceedingly.

132. Look on me, Lord, and mercifuldo thou unto me prove,As thou art wont to do to those thy name who truly love.

133. O let my footsteps in thy wordaright still order'd be:Let no iniquity obtaindominion over me.

134. From man's oppression save thou me;so keep thy laws I will.

135. Thy face make on thy servant shine;teach me thy statutes still.

136. Rivers of waters from mine eyesdid run down, when I sawHow wicked men run on in sin,and do not keep thy law.

137. O Lord, thou art most righteous;thy judgments are upright.

138. Thy testimonies thou command'stmost faithful are and right.

139. My zeal hath ev'n consumed me,because mine enemiesThy holy words forgotten have,and do thy laws despise.

140. Thy word's most pure, therefore on itthy servant's love is set.

141. Small, and despis'd I am, yet Ithy precepts not forget.
