65Well have you dealt with your servant, as you have promised, O Lord.
66Teach me discretion and knowledge, for I have believed your commandments.
67Till trouble came I was a wanderer, but now I observe your word.
68You are good and do good; teach me your statutes.
69The proud have forged lies against me, but I keep your precepts with all my heart.
70Their heart is gross like fat, but I delight in your law.
71It was good for me to be humbled, that I should learn your statutes.
72The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
73Your hands have made me and fashioned me; make me wise to learn your commandments.
74Those who fear you shall see me with joy, for in your word have I hoped.
75I know, O Lord, that your judgements are right, and in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
76Let your love be a comfort to me, for so have you promised your servant.
77Visit me with your quickening pity, for your law is my delight.
78Put the proud to shame, who have wronged me falsely: I will muse on your precepts.
79Let those turn to me who fear you, that they may learn your charges.
80Let my heart be sound in your statutes, that I may not be put to shame.
81My long for you to rescue me, I put my hope in your word.
82My eyes pine away for your promise: saying, “When will you comfort me?”
83Though shrivelled like wine-skin in smoke, your statutes I have not forgotten.
84How few are the days of your servant! When will you judge those who harass me?
85Proud people have dug for me pits people who do not conform to your law.
86All your commandments are trusty. With falsehood they harass me: help me.
87They had nearly made an end of me, yet I did not forget your precepts.
88Spare me in your kindness, and I will observe the charge of your mouth.
89Forever, O Lord, is your word fixed firmly in the heavens.
90Your truth endures age after age; it is established on earth, and it stands.
91By your appointment they stand this day, for all are your servants.
92Had not your law been my joy, in my misery then had I perished.
93I will never forget your precepts, for through them you have put life in me.
94I am yours, O save me, for I give my mind to your precepts.
