Zayin

⁴⁹Remember ^(A)your word to your servant,
    in which you have made me ^(B)hope.
⁵⁰This is ^(C)my comfort in my affliction,
    that your promise ^(D)gives me life.
⁵¹^(E)The insolent utterly deride me,
    but I do not ^(F)turn away from your law.
⁵²When I think of your rules from of old,
    I take comfort, O Lord.
⁵³^(G)Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked,
    who forsake your law.
⁵⁴Your statutes have been my songs
    in the house of my ^(H)sojourning.
⁵⁵I ^(I)remember your name in the night, O Lord,
    and keep your law.
⁵⁶This blessing has fallen to me,
    that ^(J)I have kept your precepts.

⁵⁷^(K)The Lord is my portion;
    I promise to keep your words.
⁵⁸I ^(L)entreat your favor with all my heart;
    be gracious to me ^(M)according to your promise.
⁵⁹When I ^(N)think on my ways,
    I turn my feet to your testimonies;
⁶⁰I hasten and do not delay
    to keep your commandments.
⁶¹Though ^(O)the cords of the wicked ensnare me,
    I do not ^(P)forget your law.
⁶²At ^(Q)midnight I rise to praise you,
    because of your ^(R)righteous rules.
⁶³^(S)I am a companion of all who fear you,
    of those who keep your precepts.
⁶⁴^(T)The earth, O Lord, is full of your steadfast love;
    ^(U)teach me your statutes!

⁶⁵You have dealt well with your servant,
    O Lord, ^(V)according to your word.

    but now I keep your word.
⁶⁸^(Y)You are good and do good;
    ^(Z)teach me your statutes.
⁶⁹^(AA)The insolent ^(AB)smear me with lies,
    but with my whole heart I ^(AC)keep your precepts;
⁷⁰their heart is unfeeling ^(AD)like fat,
    but I ^(AE)delight in your law.
⁷¹It is ^(AF)good for me that I was afflicted,
    that I might learn your statutes.
⁷²^(AG)The law of your mouth is better to me
    than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

Yodh

⁷³^(AH)Your hands have made and fashioned me;
    ^(AI)give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.

    because I have ^(AK)hoped in your word.
⁷⁵I know, O Lord, that your rules are ^(AL)righteous,
    and that in ^(AM)faithfulness you have afflicted me.

    according to your promise to your servant.
⁷⁷Let your ^(AN)mercy come to me, that I may live;
    for your law is my ^(AO)delight.
⁷⁸Let ^(AP)the insolent be put to ^(AQ)shame,
    because they have ^(AR)wronged me with falsehood;
    as for me, I will ^(AS)meditate on your precepts.
⁷⁹Let those who fear you ^(AT)turn to me,
    that they may know your testimonies.
⁸⁰May my heart be ^(AU)blameless in your statutes,
    ^(AV)that I may not be put to shame!
