Righteous are you, O Lord, and right are your rules.

You have appointed your testimonies in righteousness and in all faithfulness.

My zeal consumes me, because my enemies forget your words.

Your promise is well tried, and your servant loves it.

I am small and despised, yet I do not forget your precepts.

Your righteousness is righteous forever, and your law is true.

Trouble and anguish have come upon me, but your commandments are my delight.

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