139 My zeal has consumed me, because my enemies have forgotten thy words.
140 Thy word is very pure; therefore thy slave loves it.
141 I am small and despised; yet I have not forgotten thy precepts.
142 Thy righteousness is eternal righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
143 Trouble and anguish found me; but thy commandments were my delights.
144 Thy testimonies are eternal righteousness; give me understanding, and I shall live.
145 KOPH. I cried with my whole heart; answer me, O Lord, and I will keep thy statutes.
