Your hands have made and fashioned me;
give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.
74
Those who fear you shall see me and rejoice,
because I have hoped in your word.
75
I know, O Lord, that your rules are righteous,
and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
76
Let your steadfast love comfort me
according to your promise to your servant.
77
Let your mercy come to me, that I may live;
for your law is my delight.
78
Let the insolent be put to shame,
because they have wronged me with falsehood;
as for me, I will meditate on your precepts.
79
Let those who fear you turn to me,
that they may know your testimonies.
80
May my heart be blameless in your statutes,
that I may not be put to shame!

81
My soul longs for your salvation;
I hope in your word.
82
My eyes long for your promise;
I ask, “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 long must your servant endure?[g]
When will you judge those who persecute me?
85
The insolent have dug pitfalls for me;
they do not live according to your law.
86
All your commandments are sure;
they persecute me with falsehood; help me!
87
They have almost made an end of me on earth,
but I have not forsaken your precepts.
88
In your steadfast love give me life,
that I may keep the testimonies of your mouth.

89
Forever, O Lord, your word
is firmly fixed in the heavens.
90
Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
you have established the earth, and it stands fast.
91
By your appointment they stand this day,
for all things are your servants.
92
If your law had not been my delight,
I would have perished in my affliction.
93
I will never forget your precepts,
for by them you have given me life.
94
I am yours; save me,
for I have sought your precepts.
95
The wicked lie in wait to destroy me,
but I consider your testimonies.
96
I have seen a limit to all perfection,
but your commandment is exceedingly broad.
