72. The Torah from Your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
73. Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding that I may learn Your mitzvot.
74. Those in awe of You see me and rejoice, because I put my hope in Your word.
75. I know, Adonai, Your judgments are just. In faithfulness You have afflicted me.
76. May Your lovingkindness comfort me, according to Your promise to Your servant.
77. Let Your tender mercies reach me, Let me live, for Your Torah is my delight.
78. May the proud be put to shame for wronging me with a lie, but I will meditate on Your precepts.
79. Let those in awe of You return to me— those who know Your testimonies.
80. My heart will have integrity in following Your decrees, so that I would not be ashamed.
81. My soul faints with longing for Your salvation, but I still hope in Your word.
82. My eyes are worn out longing for Your promise, saying, “When will You comfort me?”
83. Though I became like a wineskin dried in smoke, I do not forget Your decrees.
84. How many are the days of Your servant? When will You execute judgment on my persecutors?
85. The proud have dug pits for me— that is not in accord with Your Torah!
