71. It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes.
72. The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.YOD.
73. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments.
74. They that fear thee will see me, and rejoice; because I have hoped in thy word.
75. I know, Jehovah, that thy Judgments are righteousness, and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.
76. Oh let thy loving-kindness 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 ashamed; for they have acted perversely towards me with falsehood: as for me, I meditate in thy precepts.
79. Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that know thy testimonies.
80. Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.CAPH.
81. My soul fainteth for thy salvation; I hope in thy word.
82. Mine eyes fail for thy word saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
83. For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; I do not forget thy statutes.
84. How many shall be the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
