Psalm 119:73-88

New International Version

⁷³ Your hands made me^(A) and formed me;
    give me understanding to learn your commands.
⁷⁴ May those who fear you rejoice^(B) when they see me,
    for I have put my hope in your word.^(C)
75 I know, Lord, that your laws are righteous,^(D)
    and that in faithfulness^(E) you have afflicted me.
⁷⁶ May your unfailing love^(F) be my comfort,
    according to your promise^(G) to your servant.
⁷⁷ Let your compassion^(H) come to me that I may live,
    for your law is my delight.^(I)
78 May the arrogant^(J) be put to shame for wronging me without cause;^(K)
    but I will meditate on your precepts.
⁷⁹ May those who fear you turn to me,
    those who understand your statutes.^(L)
80 May I wholeheartedly follow^(M) your decrees,^(N)
    that I may not be put to shame.^(O)

⁸¹ My soul faints^(P) with longing for your salvation,^(Q)
    but I have put my hope^(R) in your word.
⁸² My eyes fail,^(S) looking for your promise;^(T)
    I say, “When will you comfort me?”
⁸³ Though I am like a wineskin in the smoke,
    I do not forget^(U) your decrees.
⁸⁴ How long^(V) must your servant wait?
    When will you punish my persecutors?^(W)
85 The arrogant^(X) dig pits^(Y) to trap me,
    contrary to your law.
⁸⁶ All your commands are trustworthy;^(Z)
    help me,^(AA) for I am being persecuted^(AB) without cause.^(AC)
87 They almost wiped me from the earth,
    but I have not forsaken^(AD) your precepts.
⁸⁸ In your unfailing love^(AE) preserve my life,^(AF)
    that I may obey the statutes^(AG) of your mouth.
