140 Thy word is very pure; Therefore thy servant loveth it.
141 I am small and despised; [Yet] do I not forget thy precepts.
142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And thy law is truth.
143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me; [Yet] thy commandments are my delight.
144 Thy testimonies are righteous for ever: Give me understanding, and I shall live. QOPH.
145 I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O Jehovah: I will keep thy statutes.
146 I have called unto thee; save me, And I shall observe thy testimonies.
