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.
May I be blameless in keeping your decrees; then I will never be ashamed.

Joyful are people of integrity,
who follow the instructions of the LORD.

reflect your decrees!
Then I will not be ashamed
when I compare my life with your commands. (see Psalm 119:1-8)
