124 Deal with Your servant according to Your loving devotion, and teach me Your statutes.
125 I am Your servant; give me understanding, that I may know Your testimonies.
It is time for the LORD to act, for they have broken Your law.
127 Therefore I love Your commandments more than gold, even the purest gold.
128 Therefore I admire all Your precepts and hate every false way.
