141 I am small and despised; [Yet] do I not forget thy precepts.
         
                                
                        142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And thy law is truth.
         
                                
                        143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me; [Yet] thy commandments are my delight.
         
                                
                        144 Thy testimonies are righteous for ever: Give me understanding, and I shall live.      QOPH.
         
                                
                        145 I have called with my whole heart; answer me, O       Jehovah: I will keep thy statutes.
         
                                
                        146 I have called unto thee; save me, And I shall observe thy testimonies.
         
                                
                        147 I anticipated the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy words.
