¹³⁷ Righteous are You, O Lord, And upright are Your judgments.

Father, You are right and true, my Lord,

And Your ways are good and just

                                                                                           

¹³⁸ You have commanded Your testimonies in righteousness

 And exceeding faithfulness.
 Your commands and your word are good and just,   And teach us to be faithful to you.

¹³⁹ My zeal has consumed me,Because my adversaries have forgotten Your word. My utter devotion to you consumes me,But skeptics have forgotten you and your words.

¹⁴⁰ Your word is very pure,Therefore Your servant loves it.
 Your word is so very pure and true,So your child of faith loves it.

¹⁴¹ I am small and despised,Yet I do not forget Your precepts.
 Even though my influence is small and even disliked,I will not forget your word or you.

¹⁴² Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,  And Your law is truth.
 Father your goodness and mercy are eternally good and merciful, and your law is truth.

¹⁴³ Trouble and anguish have come upon me,Yet Your commandments are my delight.
 Trouble and difficulty visit me,Yet your word and laws are my joy.

¹⁴⁴ Your testimonies are righteous forever;Give me understanding that I may live.

 Father, your words are eternally good and trueGive me spiritual understanding that I may live in Christ. Blessings, Dottie
