Psalm 119:136-138

New Catholic Bible

¹³⁶Streams of tears flow from my eyes
because your law is disregarded.^[a]

Sadhe

¹³⁷^[b]You are righteous, O Lord,
and your judgments are right.
¹³⁸You have set down your statutes as righteous
and as completely faithful.

Psalm 119:136 The godly are saddened in the face of evil (see Ezr 9:3ff; Job 16:20; Ezek 9:4).
Psalm 119:137 The troubles and disgraces of his holy ones reflect upon the Lord and his word. Hence, the psalmist points out his sad state and prays that the Lord will establish righteousness in his world. Though he is still immersed in troubles, he knows the Lord is faithful and so he wholeheartedly puts his trust in him.
