Psalm 119:73-80 Part 1

                    YODH 
You made me, you created me.
    Now give me the sense to follow your commands.
May all who fear you find in me a cause for joy,
    for I have put my hope in your word.
I know, O LORD, that your regulations are fair;
    you disciplined me because I needed it.
Now let your unfailing love comfort me,
    just as you promised me, your servant.
Surround me with your tender mercies so I may live,
    for your instructions are my delight.
Bring disgrace upon the arrogant people who lied about me;
    meanwhile, I will concentrate on your commandments.
Let me be united with all who fear you,
    with those who know your laws.
May I be blameless in keeping your decrees;
    then I will never be ashamed. 
 
You made me, you created me. Now give me the sense to follow your commands.
Job 31:15  
"For God created both me and my servants.
    He created us both in the womb."  (see Job 31:13-15)
Psalm 139:13-15  
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
    and knit me together in my mother's womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
    Your workmanship is marvelous--how well I know it.
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
    as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
You saw me before I was born.
    Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
    before a single day had passed.  (see all Psalm 139)
Genesis 1:27  
So God created human beings in his own image.
    In the image of God he created them;
    male and female he created them.  (see all Genesis 1)
Psalm 138:8  
The LORD will work out his plans for my life--
    for your faithful love, O LORD, endures forever.
    Don't abandon me, for you made me.  (see all Psalm 138)
