Psalm 119:73-80 Part 6

 

                    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. 

 

Bring disgrace upon the arrogant people who lied about me; meanwhile, I will concentrate on your commandments.

Don't let my treacherous enemies rejoice over my defeat.
