139 My zeal wears me out,for my enemies ignore your words.
140 Your promises have been thoroughly tested,and your servant loves them.
141 Though I am lowly and despised,I do not forget your precepts.
142 Your righteousness is everlastingand your law is true.
143 Trouble and distress have come upon me,but your commands give me delight.
144 Your statutes are always righteous;give me understanding that I may live.
145 I call with all my heart; answer me, Lord,and I will obey your decrees.
