Psalms [Praises] 119:61-71

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.
