י Yodh
73 Your hands made me and established me;
Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.
74 May those who fear You see me and be glad,
Because I wait for Your word.
75 I know, O Yahweh, that Your judgments are righteous,
And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.
76 Oh may Your lovingkindness comfort me,
According to Your word to Your slave.
77 May Your compassion come to me that I may live,
For Your law is my delight.
78 May the arrogant be ashamed, for they wrong me with lying;
But I shall muse on Your precepts.
79 May those who fear You turn to me,
And those who know Your testimonies.
80 May my heart be blameless in Your statutes,
So that I will not be ashamed.
כ Kaph
81 My soul fails with longing for Your salvation;
I wait for Your word.
82 My eyes fail with longing for Your word,
Saying, “When will You comfort me?”
83 For I am like a wineskin in the smoke,
But I do not forget Your statutes.
84 How many are the days of Your slave?
When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me?
85 The arrogant have dug pits for me,
Men who are not in accord with Your law.
86 All Your commandments are faithful;
They have persecuted me with lying; help me!
87 They almost made an end of me on the earth,
But as for me, I did not forsake Your precepts.
88 Revive me according to Your lovingkindness,
So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.
ל Lamedh
89 Forever, O Yahweh,
Your word stands firm in heaven.
90 Your faithfulness endures from generation to generation;
You established the earth, and it stands.
91 They stand this day according to Your judgments,
For all things are Your slaves.
92 If Your law had not been my delight,
Then I would have perished in my affliction.
93 I will never forget Your precepts,
For by them You have revived me.
94 I am Yours, save me;
For I have sought Your precepts.
95 The wicked hope for me—to destroy me;
I shall perceive Your testimonies.
96 I have seen a limit to all perfection;
Your commandment is exceedingly broad.
