Ayin

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