70. Their heart is as fat as grease; But I delight in thy law.
71. It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I may learn thy statutes.
72. The law of thy mouth is better unto me Than thousands of gold and silver.
73. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
74. They that fear thee shall see me and be glad, Because I have hoped in thy word.
75. I know, O Jehovah, that thy judgments are righteous, And that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.
76. Let, I pray thee, thy lovingkindness be for my comfort, According to thy word unto thy servant.
77. Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live; For thy law is my delight.
78. Let the proud be put to shame; For they have overthrown me wrongfully: But I will meditate on thy precepts.
79. Let those that fear thee turn unto me; And they shall know thy testimonies.
80. Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, That I be not put to shame.
81. My soul fainteth for thy salvation; But I hope in thy word.
82. Mine eyes fail for thy word, While I say, When wilt thou comfort me?
83. For I am become like a wine-skin in the smoke; Yet do I not forget thy statutes.
84. How many are the days of thy servant? When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85. The proud have digged pits for me, Who are not according to thy law.
86. All thy commandments are faithful: They persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
