119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross; therefore I love Thy testimonies. |
| קכ סָמַר מִפַּחְדְּךָ בְשָׂרִי; וּמִמִּשְׁפָּטֶיךָ יָרֵאתִי. | 120 My flesh shuddereth for fear of Thee; and I am afraid of Thy judgments. {P} |

127 Therefore I love Thy commandments above gold, yea, above fine gold. |
| קכח עַל-כֵּן, כָּל-פִּקּוּדֵי כֹל יִשָּׁרְתִּי; כָּל-אֹרַח שֶׁקֶר שָׂנֵאתִי. | 128 Therefore I esteem all [Thy] precepts concerning all things to be right; every false way I hate. {P} |
| קכט פְּלָאוֹת עֵדְוֺתֶיךָ; עַל-כֵּן, נְצָרָתַם נַפְשִׁי. |
129 PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful; therefore doth my soul keep them. |

133 Order my footsteps by Thy word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. |

139 My zeal hath undone me, because mine adversaries have forgotten Thy words. |
| קמ צְרוּפָה אִמְרָתְךָ מְאֹד; וְעַבְדְּךָ אֲהֵבָהּ. |
140 Thy word is tried to the uttermost, and Thy servant loveth it. |
