Psalm 119:73-88Yodh. 73. Thy hands made me and fashioned me; Give me understanding, that I may learn Thy commandments. 74. May those who fear Thee see me and be glad; Because I wait for thy word. 75. I know, O Lord, that Thy judgments are righteous, And that in faithfulness Thou hast afflicted me. 76. O may thy lovingkindness comfort me, According to Thy word to Thy servant. 77. May Thy compassion come to me that I may live, For Thy law is my delight. 78. May the arrogant be ashamed, for they subvert me with a lie; But I shall meditate on Thy precepts. 79. May those who fear Thee turn to me, Even those who know Thy testimonies. 80. May my heart be blameless in Thy statutes, That I may not be ashamed. Kaph. 81. My soul languishes for Thy salvation; I wait for Thy word. 82. My eyes fail with longing for Thy word, While I say, "When wilt Thou comfort me?" 83. Though I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, I do not forget Thy statutes. 84. How many are the days of Thy servant? When wilt Thou execute judgment on those who persecute me? 85. The arrogant have dug pits for me, Men who are not in accord with Thy law. 86. All thy commandments are faithful, They have persecuted me with a lie; help me! 87. They almost destroyed me on earth, But as for me, I did not forsake Thy precepts. 88. Revive me according to Thy lovingkindness, So that I may keep the testimony of Thy mouth.
