41VAV. And let thy kindness come unto me, O Lord, thy salvation, according to thy promise.
42Then shall I have a word to answer the one that reproacheth me; for I trust in thy word.
43And snatch not the word of truth out of my mouth too greatly; for I wait for thy ordinances.
44So shall I observe thy law continually for ever and ever.
45And I will walk in an open space; for thy precepts have I sought.
46And I will speak of thy testimonies before kings, and will not be ashamed.
47And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I love.
48And so will I lift up my hands unto thy commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on thy statutes.
49ZAYIN. Remember thy word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to wait.
50This is my comfort in my affliction, that thy promise hath revived me.
51The presumptuous have held me too greatly in derision: yet have I not departed away from thy law.
52I remembered thy decrees which were from olden times, O Lord, and thus comforted myself.
53Horror seized on me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
54Songs have thy statutes been unto me in the house of my pilgrimage.
55I remembered in the night thy name, O Lord, and observed thy law.
56This came to pass unto me, because I had kept thy precepts.
57CHETH. My portion is the Lord, have I said, that I might observe thy words.
58I make entreaty before thee with all my heart: be gracious unto me according to thy promise.
59I have thought over my ways, and made my feet return unto thy testimonies.
60I hastened, and delayed not to observe thy commandments.
61Companies of wicked men have surrounded me; but I have not forgotten thy law.
62At midnights do I constantly rise to give thanks unto thee, because of thy righteous decrees.
63An associate am I unto all that fear thee, and unto those that keep thy precepts.
64Of thy kindness, O Lord, is the earth full: teach me thy statutes.
65TETH. Thou hast shown goodness on thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word.
66The best of discernment and knowledge do thou teach me; for in thy commandments do I believe.
67Before I was afflicted I was in error; but now I observe thy saying.
68Thou art good, and doing good: teach me thy statutes.
69The presumptuous have invented falsehoods against me; but I will with all my heart indeed keep thy precepts.
70Gross as fat is their heart; but I take truly delight in thy law.
71It is well for me that I have been afflicted, in order that I might learn thy statutes.
72Better is unto me the law of thy mouth than thousands of gold and silver.
