72The Lawe of thy mouth is better vnto me, then thousands of golde and siluer.
73IOD. Thine hands haue made me and fashioned me: giue mee vnderstanding therefore, that I may learne thy commandements.
74So they that feare thee, seeing mee shall reioyce, because I haue trusted in thy worde.
75I knowe, O Lord, that thy iudgements are right, and that thou hast afflicted me iustly.
76I pray thee that thy mercie may comfort me according to thy promise vnto thy seruant.
77Let thy tender mercies come vnto me, that I may liue: for thy Lawe is my delite.
78Let the proude be ashamed: for they haue dealt wickedly and falsely with me: but I meditate in thy precepts.
79Let such as feare thee turne vnto me, and they that knowe thy testimonies.
80Let mine heart bee vpright in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.
81CAPH. My soule fainteth for thy saluation: yet I waite for thy worde.
82Mine eyes faile for thy promise, saying, when wilt thou comfort me?
83For I am like a bottell in the smoke: yet doe I not forget thy statutes.
84Howe many are the dayes of thy seruant? When wilt thou execute iudgement on them that persecute me?
85The proude haue digged pittes for mee, which is not after thy Lawe.
86All thy commandements are true: they persecute me falsely: helpe me.
87They had almost consumed me vpon the earth: but I forsooke not thy precepts.
88Quicken me according to thy louing kindnes: so shall I keepe the testimony of thy mouth.
