21 You have rebuked the arrogant. Those who decline from your commandments are accursed

22 Take me away from disgrace and contempt, for I have sought your testimonies

23 For even the leaders sat and spoke against me. But your servant has been trained in your justifications

24 For your testimonies are also my meditation, and your justifications are my counsel

25 DALETH. My soul has adhered to the pavement. Revive me according to your word

26 I have declared my ways, and you have heeded me. Teach me your justifications

45 And I have wandered far and wide, because I was seeking your commandments

46 And I spoke of your testimonies in the sight of kings, and I was not confounded

47 And I meditated on your commandments, which I loved

48 And I lifted up my hands to your commandments, which I loved. And I was trained in your justifications

49 ZAIN. Be mindful of your word to your servant, by which you have given me hope

50 This has consoled me in my humiliation, for your word has revived me

51 The arrogant act altogether iniquitously, but I have not turned aside from your law

52 I called to mind your judgments of antiquity, O Lord, and I was consoled

53 Faintness has taken hold of me, because of the sinners, those who abandon your law

54 Your justifications were the subject of my worthy singing, in the place of my pilgrimage

55 During the night, I remembered your name, O Lord, and I kept your law

68 You are good, so in your goodness teach me your justifications

69 The iniquity of the arrogant has been multiplied over me. Yet I will examine your commandments with all my heart

70 Their heart has been curdled like milk. Truly, I have meditated on your law

71 It is good for me that you humbled me, so that I may learn your justifications

72 The law of your mouth is good for me, beyond thousands of gold and silver pieces

83 For I have become like a wineskin in the frost. I have not forgotten your justifications

84 How many are the days of your servant? When will you bring judgment against those who persecute me

85 The iniquitous have spoken fables to me. But these are unlike your law

86 All your commandments are truth. They have been persecuting me unjustly: assist me

87 They have nearly consumed me on earth. Yet I have not forsaken your commandments

88 Revive me according to your mercy. And I will keep the testimonies of your mouth

89 LAMED. O Lord, your word remains firm in heaven, for all eternity

93 I will not forget your justifications, for eternity. For by them, you have enlivened me

94 I am yours. Accomplish my salvation. For I have inquired into your justifications
