72. The law from Your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
73. Your hands have made me, cunningly fashioned and established me; give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.
74. Those who reverently and worshipfully fear You will see me and be glad, because I have hoped in Your word and tarried for it.
75. I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are right and righteous, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me. [Heb. 12:10.]
76. Let, I pray You, Your merciful kindness and steadfast love be for my comfort, according to Your promise to Your servant.
77. Let Your tender mercy and loving-kindness come to me that I may live, for Your law is my delight!
78. Let the proud be put to shame, for they dealt perversely with me without a cause; but I will meditate on Your precepts.
