73. Your hands have made me and fashioned me;Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.
74. Those who 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 in faithfulness You have afflicted me.
76. Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort,According to Your word to Your servant.
77. Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;For Your law is my delight.
78. Let the proud be ashamed,For they treated me wrongfully with falsehood;But I will meditate on Your precepts.
79. Let those who fear You turn to me,Those who know Your testimonies.
80. Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes,That I may not be ashamed.
81. My soul faints for Your salvation,But I hope in Your word.
82. My eyes fail from searching Your word,Saying, “When will You comfort me?”
83. For I have become like a wineskin in smoke,Yet I do not forget Your statutes.
