142 Your justice is justice for all eternity, and your law is truth.
143 Tribulation and anguish have found me. Your commandments are my meditation.
144 Your testimonies are fairness unto eternity. Give me understanding, and I will live.
145 COPH. I cried out with my whole heart. Heed me, O Lord. I will ask for your justifications.
146 I cried out to you. Save me, so that I may keep your commandments.
147 I arrived first in maturity, and so I cried out. For in your words, I have hoped beyond hope.
148 My eyes preceded the dawn for you, so that I might meditate on your eloquence.
