New International Version

¹²¹ I have done what is righteous and just;^(A)
    do not leave me to my oppressors.
¹²² Ensure your servant’s well-being;^(B)
    do not let the arrogant oppress me.^(C)
123 My eyes fail,^(D) looking for your salvation,^(E)
    looking for your righteous promise.^(F)
124 Deal with your servant according to your love^(G)
    and teach me your decrees.^(H)
125 I am your servant;^(I) give me discernment
    that I may understand your statutes.^(J)
126 It is time for you to act, Lord;
    your law is being broken.^(K)
127 Because I love your commands^(L)
    more than gold,^(M) more than pure gold,^(N)
128 and because I consider all your precepts right,^(O)
    I hate every wrong path.^(P)

¹²⁹ Your statutes are wonderful;^(Q)
    therefore I obey them.^(R)
130 The unfolding of your words gives light;^(S)
    it gives understanding to the simple.^(T)
131 I open my mouth and pant,^(U)
    longing for your commands.^(V)
132 Turn to me^(W) and have mercy^(X) on me,
    as you always do to those who love your name.^(Y)
133 Direct my footsteps according to your word;^(Z)
    let no sin rule^(AA) over me.
¹³⁴ Redeem me from human oppression,^(AB)
    that I may obey your precepts.^(AC)
135 Make your face shine^(AD) on your servant
    and teach me your decrees.^(AE)
136 Streams of tears^(AF) flow from my eyes,
    for your law is not obeyed.^(AG)

¹³⁷ You are righteous,^(AH) Lord,
    and your laws are right.^(AI)
138 The statutes you have laid down are righteous;^(AJ)
    they are fully trustworthy.^(AK)
139 My zeal wears me out,^(AL)
    for my enemies ignore your words.
¹⁴⁰ Your promises^(AM) have been thoroughly tested,^(AN)
    and your servant loves them.^(AO)
141 Though I am lowly and despised,^(AP)
    I do not forget your precepts.^(AQ)
142 Your righteousness is everlasting
    and your law is true.^(AR)
143 Trouble and distress have come upon me,
    but your commands give me delight.^(AS)
144 Your statutes are always righteous;
    give me understanding^(AT) that I may live.

¹⁴⁵ I call with all my heart;^(AU) answer me, Lord,
    and I will obey your decrees.^(AV)
146 I call out to you; save me^(AW)
    and I will keep your statutes.
¹⁴⁷ I rise before dawn^(AX) and cry for help;
    I have put my hope in your word.
¹⁴⁸ My eyes stay open through the watches of the night,^(AY)
    that I may meditate on your promises.
¹⁴⁹ Hear my voice^(AZ) in accordance with your love;^(BA)
    preserve my life,^(BB) Lord, according to your laws.
¹⁵⁰ Those who devise wicked schemes^(BC) are near,
    but they are far from your law.
¹⁵¹ Yet you are near,^(BD) Lord,
    and all your commands are true.^(BE)
152 Long ago I learned from your statutes^(BF)
    that you established them to last forever.^(BG)
