Latin text 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.

English translation 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.
