Thy salvation according to thy word. [¶2] 42 ו And I will answer a word to him who reproacheth me; For I have trusted in thy word. [¶3] 43 ו And take not from my mouth the word of truth utterly: Because for thy judgments I wait. [¶4] 44 ו And I will keep thy law continually, For ever and ever. [¶5] 45 ו And I will walk at large; For thy statutes I have sought. [¶6] 46 ו And I will speak of thy testimonies before kings, And will not be ashamed. [¶7] 47 ו And I will delight myself in thy commandments Which I have loved. [¶8] 48 ו And I will lift up my hands to thy commandments Which I have loved; And I will meditate upon thy statutes. [¶9] ז [Zain.] [¶10] 49 ז Remember thy word to thy servant, Upon which thou hast caused me to hope. [¶11] 50 ז This is my consolation in my affliction; For thy word revives me. [¶12] 51 ז The proud ones have derided me exceedingly: From thy law I have not declined. [¶13] 52 ז I remembered thy judgments of old, O Jehovah! And comforted myself. [¶14] 53 ז Terror hath seized upon me, Because of the ungodly who forsake thy law. [¶15] 54 ז Thy statutes have been songs to me In the house of my pilgrimage. [¶16] 55 ז I remembered in the night thy name, O Jehovah! And I will keep thy law. [¶17] 56 ז This is done to me, Because thy statutes I have observed. [¶18] ח [Cheth.] [¶19] 57 ח Thou art my portion, O Jehovah! I have said that I will keep thy words. [¶20] 58 ח I have sought thy face with my whole heart; Have mercy upon me according to thy word. [¶21] 59 ח I thought upon my ways, And turned my feet to thy testimonies. [¶22] 60 ח I made haste and delayed not To keep thy commandments. [¶23] 61 ח The cords of the ungodly have caught hold of me; Thy law I have not forgotten. [¶24] 62 ח At midnight I will rise to praise thee, Because of the judgments of thy righteousness. [¶25] 63 ח A companion am I to all who fear thee, And who keep thy statutes. [¶26] 64 ח Of thy mercy, O Jehovah! the earth is full: Thy statutes teach thou me. [¶27] ת [Teth.] [¶28] 65 ת Kindly hast thou dealt with thy servant, O Jehovah! According to thy word. [¶29] 66 ת Goodness of taste and knowledge teach me; For thy commandments I have believed. [¶30] 67 ת Before I was brought low I went astray; But now thy word I keep. [¶31] 68 ת Good art thou, and beneficent: Teach me thy statutes. [¶32] 69 ת Weaved a lie against me have the proud ones; But as for me I with my whole heart will keep statutes. [¶33] 70 ת Fat as grease is their heart; But as for me I in thy law do delight. [¶34] 71 ת It hath been good for me that I have been afflicted, That I might learn thy statutes. [¶35] 72 ת Better to me is the law of thy mouth Than thousands of gold and silver. [¶36] י [Yod.] [¶37] 73 י Thy hands have made and formed me; Make me to understand, and I shall learn thy commandments. [¶38] 74 י Those who fear thee shall see me and rejoice; Because for thy word I have waited. [¶39] 75 י I have known, O Jehovah! that righteousness are thy judgments; And in truth thou hast humbled me. [¶40] 76 י To thy word to thy servant. [¶41] 77 י Let come to me thy compassions, and I shall live; For thy law is my delight. [¶42] 78 י Ashamed let be the proud, for they have falsely wronged me: As for me I will meditate upon thy precepts. [¶43] 79 י Let those turn unto me who fear thee, And have known thy testimonies. [¶44] 80 י Let my heart be sound in thy statutes, That I may not be put to shame.
