73 Your hands have made me and fashioned me; ♦︎
give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.
74 Those who fear you will be glad when they see me, ♦︎
because I have hoped in your word.
75 I know, O Lord, that your judgements are right, ♦︎
and that in very faithfulness you caused me to be troubled.
76 Let your faithful love be my comfort, ♦︎
according to your promise to your servant.
77 Let your tender mercies come to me, that I may live, ♦︎
for your law is my delight.
78 Let the proud be put to shame, for they wrong me with lies; ♦︎
but I will meditate on your commandments.
79 Let those who fear you turn to me, ♦︎
even those who know your testimonies.
80 Let my heart be sound in your statutes, ♦︎
that I may not be put to shame.
81 My soul is pining for your salvation; ♦︎
I have hoped in your word.
82 My eyes fail with watching for your word, ♦︎
while I say, O when will you comfort me?
83 I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, ♦︎
yet I do not forget your statutes.
84 How many are the days of your servant? ♦︎
When will you bring judgement on those who persecute me?
85 The proud have dug pits for me ♦︎
in defiance of your law.
86 All your commandments are true; ♦︎
help me, for they persecute me with falsehood.
87 They had almost made an end of me on earth, ♦︎
but I have not forsaken your commandments.
88 Give me life according to your loving-kindness; ♦︎
so shall I keep the testimonies of your mouth.
89 O Lord, your word is everlasting; ♦︎
it ever stands firm in the heavens.
90 Your faithfulness also remains from one generation to another; ♦︎
you have established the earth and it abides.
91 So also your judgements stand firm this day, ♦︎
for all things are your servants.
92 If your law had not been my delight, ♦︎
I should have perished in my trouble.
93 I will never forget your commandments, ♦︎
for by them you have given me life.
94 I am yours, O save me! ♦︎
For I have sought your commandments.
95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me, ♦︎
but I will meditate on your testimonies.
96 I have seen an end of all perfection, ♦︎
but your commandment knows no bounds.
