72. The law of your mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
73. Your hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.
74. They that fear you will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in your word.
75. I know, O LORD, that your judgments are right, and that you in faithfulness have afflicted me.
76. Let, I pray you, your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to your word unto your servant.
77. Let your tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for your law is my delight.
78. Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in your precepts.
79. Let those that fear you turn unto me, and those that have known your testimonies.
80. Let my heart be sound in your statutes; that I be not ashamed.
81. My soul faints for your salvation: but I hope in your word.
82. My eyes fail for your word, saying, When will you comfort me?
83. For I am become like a wineskin in the smoke; yet do I not forget your statutes.
84. How many are the days of your servant? when will you execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85. The proud have dug pits for me, which is not after your law.
86. All your commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help me.
