Psalms 119:137
135 Make Your face shine upon Your servant, and teach me Your statutes.
136 My eyes shed streams of tears because Your law is not obeyed.
Righteous are You, O LORD, and upright are Your judgments.
138 The testimonies You have laid down are righteous and altogether faithful.
139 My zeal has consumed me because my foes forget Your words.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
