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.
