139
My zeal consumes me because my foes forget your words.
140
Your promise is well tried, and your servant loves it.
141
I am small and despised, yet I do not forget your precepts.
142
Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and your law is the truth.
143
Trouble and anguish have come upon me, but your commandments are my delight.
