¹²⁹ Your statutes are wonderful;^(A)
    therefore I obey them.^(B)
130 The unfolding of your words gives light;^(C)
    it gives understanding to the simple.^(D)
131 I open my mouth and pant,^(E)
    longing for your commands.^(F)
132 Turn to me^(G) and have mercy^(H) on me,
    as you always do to those who love your name.^(I)
133 Direct my footsteps according to your word;^(J)
    let no sin rule^(K) over me.
¹³⁴ Redeem me from human oppression,^(L)
    that I may obey your precepts.^(M)
135 Make your face shine^(N) on your servant
    and teach me your decrees.^(O)
136 Streams of tears^(P) flow from my eyes,
    for your law is not obeyed.^(Q)

¹³⁷ You are righteous,^(R) Lord,
    and your laws are right.^(S)
138 The statutes you have laid down are righteous;^(T)
    they are fully trustworthy.^(U)
139 My zeal wears me out,^(V)
    for my enemies ignore your words.
¹⁴⁰ Your promises^(W) have been thoroughly tested,^(X)
    and your servant loves them.^(Y)
141 Though I am lowly and despised,^(Z)
    I do not forget your precepts.^(AA)

    and your law is true.^(AB)
143 Trouble and distress have come upon me,
    but your commands give me delight.^(AC)
