New International Version
י Yodh
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)
כ Kaph
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.

sweeter than honey(BF) to my mouth!(BG)

a light(BK) on my path.

112 My heart is set(BV) on keeping your decrees
to the very end.[a](BW)

that I may keep the commands of my God!
116 Sustain me,(CC) my God, according to your promise,(CD) and I will live;
do not let my hopes be dashed.(CE)
117 Uphold me,(CF) and I will be delivered;(CG)
I will always have regard for your decrees.(CH)
118 You reject all who stray(CI) from your decrees,
for their delusions come to nothing.
119 All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross;(CJ)
therefore I love your statutes.(CK)
120 My flesh trembles(CL) in fear of you;(CM)
I stand in awe(CN) of your laws.

your law is being broken.(CY)

more than gold,(DA) more than pure gold,(DB)
128 and because I consider all your precepts right,(DC)
I hate every wrong path.(DD)
