Psalms 119:137
Righteous are You, O LORD, and upright are Your judgments.
BSB
ASV
Righteous art thou, O Jehovah, And upright are thy judgments.
KJV
Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are thy judgments.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
צ, TZADDI.--The Eighteenth Part. TZADDI. Righteous art thou, O Lord,....
This passage deals with the perfect righteousness of Jehovah and his word, and expresses the struggles of a holy soul in reference to that righteousness. The initial letter with which every verse commences in the Hebrew is "P," and the keyword to us is PURITY. "Righteous art thou, O LORD" The Psalmist has not often used the name of Jehovah in this vast composition.

Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
