Psalm 119:137-144 Part 5

                    TSADHE 
O LORD, you are righteous,
    and your regulations are fair.
Your laws are perfect
    and completely trustworthy.
I am overwhelmed with indignation,
    for my enemies have disregarded your words.
Your promises have been thoroughly tested;
    that is why I love them so much.
I am insignificant and despised,
    but I don't forget your commandments.
Your justice is eternal,
    and your instructions are perfectly true.
As pressure and stress bear down on me,
    I find joy in your commands.
Your laws are always right;
    help me to understand them so I may live. 
 
Your justice is eternal, and your instructions are perfectly true.

But the LORD reigns forever,
    executing judgment from his throne.  (see all Psalm 9)

    all your just regulations will stand forever.  (see Psalm 119:153-160)
 
As pressure and stress bear down on me, I find joy in your commands.

Your laws please me;
    they give me wise advice.  (see Psalm 119:17-24)

How I delight in your commands!
    How I love them!  (see Psalm 119:41-48)
