צ Tsadhe137You are righteous, Lord, and your laws are right.138The statutes you have laid down are righteous; they are fully trustworthy.139My zeal wears me out, for my enemies ignore your words.140Your promises have been thoroughly tested, and your servant loves them.141Though I am lowly and despised, I do not forget your precepts.142Your righteousness is everlasting and your law is true.143Trouble and distress have come upon me, but your commands give me delight.144Your statutes are always righteous; give me understanding that I may live.
