76 Let, I pray Thee, Thy kindness be to comfort me, According to Thy saying to Thy servant.
77 Meet me do Thy mercies, and I live, For Thy law [is] my delight.
78 Ashamed are the proud, For [with] falsehood they dealt perversely with me. I meditate in Thy precepts.
79 Those fearing Thee turn back to me, And those knowing Thy testimonies.
80 My heart is perfect in Thy statutes, So that I am not ashamed.

82 Consumed have been mine eyes for Thy word, Saying, `When doth it comfort me?`
83 For I have been as a bottle in smoke, Thy statutes I have not forgotten.
84 How many [are] the days of Thy servant? When dost Thou execute Against my pursuers judgment?
85 The proud have digged for me pits, That [are] not according to Thy law.
86 All Thy commands [are] faithfulness, [With] falsehood they have pursued me, Help Thou me.
87 Almost consumed me on earth have they, And I -- I have not forsaken Thy precepts.
88 According to Thy kindness quicken Thou me, And I keep the testimony of Thy mouth!
89 [Lamed.] To the age, O Jehovah, Thy word is set up in the heavens.
90 To all generations Thy faithfulness, Thou didst establish earth, and it standeth.
91 According to Thine ordinances They have stood this day, for the whole [are] Thy servants.
92 Unless Thy law [were] my delights, Then had I perished in mine affliction.
93 To the age I forget not Thy precepts, For by them Thou hast quickened me.
94 I [am] Thine, save Thou me, For Thy precepts I have sought.
95 Thy wicked waited for me to destroy me, Thy testimonies I understand.
96 Of all perfection I have seen an end, Broad [is] Thy command -- exceedingly!
