73 Your hands have made me and established me;

give me understanding that I may learn your commands.

74 Those who fear you will see me and be glad,

because I hope in your word.

75 I know, O Yahweh, that your judgments are right,

and that in faithfulness you afflicted me.

76 Please let your loyal love comfort me,

according to your wordt to your servant.

77 Let your mercies come to me, that I may live,

for your law is my delight.

78 Let the arrogant be put to shame,

because they have wronged me with lies.u

As for me, I will meditate on your precepts.

79 Let those who fear you turn to me,

even those who knowv your testimonies.

80 May my heart be blameless in your statutes,

so that I may not be ashamed.

Kaph

81 My soul languishes for your salvation;

I hope in your word.

82 My eyes long forw your word,x

saying, “When will you comfort me?”

83 For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke,

yet I have not forgotten your statutes.

84 How many are the days of your servant?

When will you execute justice against those who persecute me?

85 The arrogant have dug pitsy for me,

which is not according toz your law.

86 All your commands are faithful.

They persecute me deceitfully; help me!

87 They have almost destroyed me on the earth,

but I have not forsaken your precepts.

88 According to your loyal love preserve me alive,

so that I may heed the testimony from your mouth.
