137 (A)Righteous are you, O Lord,
    and right are your rules.
138 You have appointed your testimonies in (B)righteousness
    and in all (C)faithfulness.
139 My (D)zeal consumes me,
    because my foes forget your words.
140 Your promise is well (E)tried,
    and your servant (F)loves it.
141 I am small and despised,
    yet I do not (G)forget your precepts.
142 Your righteousness is righteous forever,
    and your law is (H)true.
143 Trouble and anguish have found me out,
    but your commandments are my (I)delight.
144 Your testimonies are righteous forever;
    (J)give me understanding that I may (K)live.
