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.
79Let those who fear you turn to me. They will know your testimonies.
80Let my heart be blameless toward your statutes, that I may not be disappointed. KAF
81My 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 judgement on those who persecute me?
85The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your Torah ·Teaching·.
86All of your mitzvot ·instructions· 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 cheshed ·loving-kindness·, so I will obey the testimonies of your mouth. LAMED
89Adonai , your word is settled in heaven forever.
90Your faithfulness is to all generations. You have established the earth, and it remains.
