I open my mouth and pant, 131 longing for your commands. Turn to me and have mercy on me, 132 as you always do to those who love your name. Direct my footsteps according to your word; 133 let no sin rule over me. Redeem me from human oppression, 134 that I may obey your precepts. Make your face shine on your servant 135 and teach me your decrees. Streams of tears flow from my eyes, 136 for your law is not obeyed. Tsadhe צ You are righteous, Lord, 137 and your laws are right. The statutes you have laid down are righteous; 138 they are fully trustworthy. My zeal wears me out, 139 for my enemies ignore your words. Your promises have been thoroughly tested, 140 and your servant loves them. Though I am lowly and despised, 141 I do not forget your precepts. Your righteousness is everlasting 142 and your law is true. Trouble and distress have come upon me, 143 but your commands give me delight. Your statutes are always righteous; 144 give me understanding that I may live. Qoph ק I call with all my heart; answer me, Lord, 145 and I will obey your decrees. I call out to you; save me 146 and I will keep your statutes. I rise before dawn and cry for help; 147 I have put my hope in your word. My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, 148 that I may meditate on your promises. Hear my voice in accordance with your love; 149 preserve my life, Lord, according to your laws. Those who devise wicked schemes are near, 150 but they are far from your law.
