⁵⁸I sought your favor with my whole heart. Be merciful to me according to your word.

⁵⁹I considered my ways, and turned my steps to your testimonies.

⁶⁰I will hurry, and not delay, to obey your mitzvot ·instructions·.

⁶¹The ropes of the wicked bind me, but I won’t forget your Torah ·Teaching·.

⁶²At midnight I will rise to yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you, because of your righteous judgments.

⁶³I am a friend of all those who fear you, of those who observe your precepts.

⁶⁴The earth is full of your cheshed ·loving-kindness·, Adonai . Teach me your statutes. TET

⁶⁵Do good to your servant, according to your word, Adonai .

⁶⁶Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your mitzvot ·instructions·.

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 Torah ·Teaching·.

⁷¹It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.

⁷²The Torah ·Teaching· of your mouth is better to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver. YOD or YUD

⁷³Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn your mitzvot ·instructions·.

⁷⁴Those who fear you will see me and be glad, because I have put my hope in your word.

⁷⁵Adonai , I know that your judgments are righteous, that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.

⁷⁶Please let your cheshed ·loving-kindness· be for my comfort, according to your word to your servant.

⁷⁷Let your tender racham ·merciful love· come to me, that I may live; for your Torah ·Teaching· is my delight.

⁷⁸Let the proud be disappointed, for they have overthrown me wrongfully. I will meditate on your precepts.
