Psalm 119 (NIV): פ Pe - צ Tsadhe

...LISTEN...

   פ Pe
 129 Your statutes are wonderful;
   therefore I obey them.
130 The unfolding of your words gives light;
   it gives understanding to the simple.
131 I open my mouth and pant,
   longing for your commands.
132 Turn to me and have mercy on me,
   as you always do to those who love your name.
133 Direct my footsteps according to your word;
   let no sin rule over me.
134 Redeem me from the oppression of men,
   that I may obey your precepts.
135 Make your face shine upon your servant
   and teach me your decrees.
136 Streams of tears flow from my eyes,
   for your law is not obeyed.

   צ Tsadhe
 137 Righteous are you, O LORD,
   and your laws are right.
138 The statutes you have laid down are righteous;
   they are fully trustworthy.
139 My zeal wears me out,
   for my enemies ignore your words.
140 Your promises have been thoroughly tested,
   and your servant loves them.
141 Though I am lowly and despised,
   I do not forget your precepts.
142 Your righteousness is everlasting
   and your law is true.
143 Trouble and distress have come upon me,
   but your commands are my delight.
144 Your statutes are forever right;
   give me understanding that I may live.
