Psalm 119:132-154
Psalm 119:132-154
132Turn to me and be gracious to me,
as is Your practice toward those who love Your name.
133Make my steps steady through Your promise;
don't let any sin dominate me.
134Redeem me from human oppression,
and I will keep Your precepts.
135Show favor to Your servant,
and teach me Your statutes.
136My eyes pour out streams of tears
because people do not follow Your instruction.
137Tsade
You are righteous, Lord,
and Your judgments are just.
138The decrees You issue are righteous
and altogether trustworthy.
139My anger overwhelms me
because my foes forget Your words.
140Your word is completely pure,
and Your servant loves it.
141I am insignificant and despised,
but I do not forget Your precepts.
142Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
and Your instruction is true.
143Trouble and distress have overtaken me,
but Your commands are my delight.
144Your decrees are righteous forever.
Give me understanding, and I will live.
145Qof
I call with all my heart; answer me, Lord.
I will obey Your statutes.
146I call to You; save me,
and I will keep Your decrees.
147I rise before dawn and cry out for help;
I put my hope in Your word.
148I am awake through each watch of the night
to meditate on Your promise.
149In keeping with Your faithful love, hear my voice.
Lord, give me life in keeping with Your justice.
150Those who pursue evil plans come near;
they are far from Your instruction.
151You are near, Lord,
and all Your commands are true.
152Long ago I learned from Your decrees
that You have established them forever.
153Resh
Consider my affliction and rescue me,
for I have not forgotten Your instruction.
154Defend my cause and redeem me;
give me life as You promised.
