74. Those who fear you will see me and be glad, because I have put my hope in your word.
75. Yahweh, I know that your judgments are righteous, that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
76. Please let your loving kindness be for my comfort, according to your word to your servant.
77. Let your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; for your law is my delight.
78. Let the proud be disappointed, for they have overthrown me wrongfully. I will meditate on your precepts.
79. Let those who fear you turn to me. They will know your statutes.
80. Let my heart be blameless toward your decrees, that I may not be disappointed. KAF
81. My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word.
82. My eyes fail for your word. I say, “When will you comfort me?”
83. For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I don’t forget your statutes.
84. How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me?
85. The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your law.
86. All of your commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me!
87. They had almost wiped me from the earth, but I didn’t forsake your precepts.
88. Preserve my life according to your loving kindness, so I will obey the statutes of your mouth. LAMED
