141  Adolescentulus sum ego et contemptus; justificationes tuas non sum oblitus.
142  Justitia tua, justitia in aeternum, et lex tua veritas.
143  Tribulatio et angustia invenerunt me; mandata tua meditatio mea est.
144  Aequitas testimonia tua in aeternum: intellectum da mihi,
et vivam.

141  I am small, and of no reputation : yet do I not forget thy commandments.
142  Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness : and thy law is the truth.
143  Trouble and heaviness have taken hold upon me : yet is my delight in thy commandments.
144  The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting : O grant me understanding,
and I shall live.
