Psalm 119:66–88

66 Teach me good judgment and hknowledge,

For I believe Your commandments.

67 Before I was iafflicted I went astray,

But now I keep Your word.

68 You are jgood, and do good;

Teach me Your statutes.

69 The proud have kforged 2a lie against me,

But I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart.

70 lTheir heart is 3as fat as grease,

But I delight in Your law.

71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted,

That I may learn Your statutes.

72 mThe law of Your mouth is better to me

Than thousands of coins of gold and silver.

י Yod

73 nYour hands have made me and fashioned me;

Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.

74 oThose who fear You will be glad when they see me,

Because I have hoped in Your word.

75 I know, O Lord, pthat Your judgments are 4right,

And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.

76 Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort,

According to Your word to Your servant.

77 Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;

For Your law is my delight.

78 Let the proud qbe ashamed,

For they treated me wrongfully with falsehood;

But I will meditate on Your precepts.

79 Let those who fear You turn to me,

Those who know Your testimonies.

80 Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes,

That I may not be ashamed.

כ‍ Kaph

81 rMy soul faints for Your salvation,

But I hope in Your word.

82 My eyes fail from searching Your word,

Saying, “When will You comfort me?”

83 For sI have become like a wineskin in smoke,

Yet I do not forget Your statutes.

84 tHow many are the days of Your servant?

uWhen will You execute judgment on those who persecute me?

85 vThe proud have dug pits for me,

Which is not according to Your law.

86 All Your commandments are faithful;

They persecute me wwrongfully;

Help me!

87 They almost made an end of me on earth,

But I did not forsake Your precepts.

88 Revive me according to Your lovingkindness,

So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.
