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