127Truly, I love your commandments *
more than gold and precious stones.

128I hold all your commandments to be right for me; *
all paths of falsehood I abhor.

PeMirabilia

129Your decrees are wonderful; *
therefore I obey them with all my heart.

130When your word goes forth it gives light; *
it gives understanding to the simple.

131I open my mouth and pant; *
I long for your commandments.

132Turn to me in mercy, *
as you always do to those who love your Name.

133Steady my footsteps in your word; *
let no iniquity have dominion over me.

134Rescue me from those who oppress me, *
and I will keep your commandments.

135Let your countenance shine upon your servant *
and teach me your statutes.

136My eyes shed streams of tears, *
because people do not keep your law.

SadheJustus es, Domine

137You are righteous, O Lord, *
and upright are your judgments.

774Psalm 119:129, 137
