And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; For I have hoped in thine ordinances.

And I shall walk at liberty; For I have sought thy precepts.

And I will delight myself in thy commandments, Which I have loved.

ZAYIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, Because thou hast made me to hope.

The proud have had me greatly in derision: [Yet] have I not swerved from thy law.

Hot indignation hath taken hold upon me, Because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

I have remembered thy name, O Jehovah, in the night, And have observed thy law.

HHETH. Jehovah is my portion: I have said that I would observe thy words.

I thought on my ways, And turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

The cords of the wicked have wrapped me round; [But] I have not forgotten thy law.

I am a companion of all them that fear thee, And of them that observe thy precepts.

TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Jehovah, according unto thy word.

Before I was afflicted I went astray; But now I observe thy word.

The proud have forged a lie against me: With my whole heart will I keep thy precepts.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I may learn thy statutes.

YODH. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

I know, O Jehovah, that thy judgments are righteous, And that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.

Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live; For thy law is my delight.

Let those that fear thee turn unto me; And they shall know thy testimonies.

KAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation; [But] I hope in thy word.

For I am become like a wine-skin in the smoke; Yet do I not forget thy statutes.

The proud have digged pits for me, Who are not according to thy law.

They had almost consumed me upon earth; But I forsook not thy precepts.

LAMEDH. For ever, O Jehovah, Thy word is settled in heaven.
