Ayin

121 I have done what is just and right;
    do not leave me to my oppressors.
122 Give your servant (A)a pledge of good;
    let not (B)the insolent oppress me.
123 My (C)eyes long for your salvation
    and for the fulfillment of your righteous promise.
124 Deal with your servant according to your steadfast love,
    and (D)teach me your statutes.
125 I am your (E)servant; (F)give me understanding,
    that I may know your testimonies!
126 It is time for the Lord to act,
    for your law has been broken.
127 Therefore I (G)love your commandments
    above gold, above fine gold.
128 Therefore I consider all your precepts to be right;
    I hate every (H)false way.
