142. Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your law is truth. [Ps. 19:9; John 17:17.]
143. Trouble and anguish have found and taken hold on me, yet Your commandments are my delight.
144. Your righteous testimonies are everlasting and Your decrees are binding to eternity; give me understanding and I shall live [give me discernment and comprehension and I shall not die].
