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.
79Let those who fear you turn to me. They will know your statutes.
80Let my heart be blameless toward your decrees, that I may not be disappointed.
81KAPF My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word.
82My eyes fail for your word. I say, “When will you comfort me?”
83For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I don’t forget your statutes.
84How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me?
85The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your law.
86All of your commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me!
87They had almost wiped me from the earth, but I didn’t forsake your precepts.
88Preserve my life according to your loving kindness, so I will obey the statutes of your mouth.
89LAMEDH Yahweh, your word is settled in heaven forever.
90Your faithfulness is to all generations. You have established the earth, and it remains.
