137 Our Lord, you always do right,
    and your decisions are fair.
138 All your teachings are true
    and trustworthy.
139 It upsets me greatly
when my enemies neglect
    your teachings.
140 Your word to me, your servant,
is like pure gold;
    I treasure what you say.
141 Everyone calls me a nobody,
    but I remember your laws.
142 You will always do right,
    and your teachings are true.
143 I am in deep distress,
    but I love your teachings.
144 Your rules are always fair.
Help me to understand them
    and live.
