75I know, Jehovah, that thy Judgments are righteousness, and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.
76Oh let thy loving-kindness be for my comfort, according to thy *word unto thy servant.
77Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live; for thy law is my delight.
78Let the proud be ashamed; for they have acted perversely towards me with falsehood: as for me, I meditate in thy precepts.
79Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that know thy testimonies.
80Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.
81CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation; I hope in thy word.
82Mine eyes fail for thy *word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
83For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; I do not forget thy statutes.
84How many shall be the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85The proud have digged pits for me, which is not according to thy law.
86All thy commandments are faithfulness. They persecute me wrongfully: help thou me.
87They had almost consumed me upon the earth; but as for me, I forsook not thy precepts.
88Quicken me according to thy loving-kindness, and I will keep the testimony of thy mouth.
89LAMED. For ever, O Jehovah, thy word is settled in the heavens.
90Thy faithfulness is from generation to generation: thou hast established the earth, and it standeth.
