ז Zayin

49 Remember your word(A) to your servant,
    for you have given me hope.(B)
50 My comfort in my suffering is this:
    Your promise preserves my life.(C)
51 The arrogant mock me(D) unmercifully,
    but I do not turn(E) from your law.
52 I remember,(F) Lord, your ancient laws,
    and I find comfort in them.
53 Indignation grips me(G) because of the wicked,
    who have forsaken your law.(H)
54 Your decrees are the theme of my song(I)
    wherever I lodge.
55 In the night, Lord, I remember(J) your name,
    that I may keep your law.(K)
56 This has been my practice:
    I obey your precepts.(L)

ח Heth

57 You are my portion,(M) Lord;
    I have promised to obey your words.(N)
58 I have sought(O) your face with all my heart;
    be gracious to me(P) according to your promise.(Q)
59 I have considered my ways(R)
    and have turned my steps to your statutes.
60 I will hasten and not delay
    to obey your commands.(S)
61 Though the wicked bind me with ropes,
    I will not forget(T) your law.
62 At midnight(U) I rise to give you thanks
    for your righteous laws.(V)
63 I am a friend to all who fear you,(W)
    to all who follow your precepts.(X)
64 The earth is filled with your love,(Y) Lord;
    teach me your decrees.(Z)

ט Teth

65 Do good(AA) to your servant
    according to your word,(AB) Lord.
66 Teach me knowledge(AC) and good judgment,
    for I trust your commands.
67 Before I was afflicted(AD) I went astray,(AE)
    but now I obey your word.(AF)
68 You are good,(AG) and what you do is good;
    teach me your decrees.(AH)
69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies,(AI)
    I keep your precepts with all my heart.
70 Their hearts are callous(AJ) and unfeeling,
    but I delight in your law.
71 It was good for me to be afflicted(AK)
    so that I might learn your decrees.
72 The law from your mouth is more precious to me
    than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.(AL)
