³⁹Take away my disgrace that I dread, for your ordinances are good.

⁴⁰Behold, I long for your precepts! Revive me in your righteousness.

⁴¹VAV Let your loving kindness also come to me, Yahweh, your salvation, according to your word.

⁴²So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in your word.

⁴³Don’t snatch the word of truth out of my mouth, for I put my hope in your ordinances.

⁴⁴So I will obey your law continually, forever and ever.

⁴⁵I will walk in liberty, for I have sought your precepts.

⁴⁶I will also speak of your statutes before kings, and will not be disappointed.

⁴⁷I will delight myself in your commandments, because I love them.

⁴⁸I reach out my hands for your commandments, which I love. I will meditate on your statutes.

⁴⁹ZAYIN Remember your word to your servant, because you gave me hope.

⁵⁰This is my comfort in my affliction, for your word has revived me.

⁵¹The arrogant mock me excessively, but I don’t swerve from your law.

⁵²I remember your ordinances of old, Yahweh, and have comforted myself.

⁵³Indignation has taken hold on me, because of the wicked who forsake your law.

⁵⁴Your statutes have been my songs in the house where I live.

⁵⁵I have remembered your name, Yahweh, in the night, and I obey your law.

⁵⁶This is my way, that I keep your precepts.

⁵⁷HETH Yahweh is my portion. I promised to obey your words.

⁵⁸I sought your favor with my whole heart. Be merciful to me according to your word.

⁵⁹I considered my ways, and turned my steps to your statutes.

⁶⁰I will hurry, and not delay, to obey your commandments.

⁶¹The ropes of the wicked bind me, but I won’t forget your law.

⁶²At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you, because of your righteous ordinances.

⁶³I am a friend of all those who fear you, of those who observe your precepts.

⁶⁴The earth is full of your loving kindness, Yahweh. Teach me your statutes.

⁶⁵TETH You have treated your servant well, according to your word, Yahweh.

⁶⁶Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments.

⁶⁷Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I observe your word.

⁶⁸You are good, and do good. Teach me your statutes.

⁶⁹The proud have smeared a lie upon me. With my whole heart, I will keep your precepts.

⁷⁰Their heart is as callous as the fat, but I delight in your law.

⁷¹It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.

⁷²The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.

⁷³YODH Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.

⁷⁴Those who fear you will see me and be glad, because I have put my hope in your word.

⁷⁵Yahweh, I know that your judgments are righteous, that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.

⁷⁶Please let your loving kindness be for my comfort, according to your word to your servant.

⁷⁷Let your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; for your law is my delight.

⁷⁸Let the proud be disappointed, for they have overthrown me wrongfully. I will meditate on your precepts.
