72. The Torah from Your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
73. Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding that I may learn Your mitzvot.
74. Those in awe of You see me and rejoice, because I put my hope in Your word.
75. I know, Adonai, Your judgments are just. In faithfulness You have afflicted me.
76. May Your lovingkindness comfort me, according to Your promise to Your servant.
77. Let Your tender mercies reach me, Let me live, for Your Torah is my delight.
78. May the proud be put to shame for wronging me with a lie, but I will meditate on Your precepts.
79. Let those in awe of You return to me— those who know Your testimonies.
