Psalm 119:137-144 - Tsade
137 Tsadhe.
Righteous are You, O Lord,
And upright are Your judgments.
You have commanded Your testimonies in righteousness
And in great faithfulness.
My zeal has [completely] consumed me,
Because my enemies have forgotten Your words.
Your word is very pure (refined);
Therefore Your servant loves it.
I am small and despised,
But I do not forget Your precepts.
Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
And Your law is truth.
Trouble and anguish have found me,
Yet Your commandments are my delight and my joy.
Your righteous testimonies are everlasting;
Give me understanding [the ability to learn and a teachable heart] that I may live.
