20 (118-20) My soul hath coveted to long for thy justifications, at all times.
21 (118-21) Thou hast rebuked the proud: they are cursed who decline from thy commandments.
22 (118-22) Remove from me reproach and contempt: because I have sought after thy testimonies.
23 (118-23) For princes sat, and spoke against me: but thy servant was employed in thy justifications.

31 (118-31) I have stuck to thy testimonies, O Lord: put me not to shame.
32 (118-32) I have run the way of thy commandments, when thou didst enlarge my heart.
33 (118-33) Set before me for a law the way of thy justifications, O Lord: and I will always seek after it.
34 (118-34) Give me understanding, and I will search thy law; and I will keep it with my whole heart.
35 (118-35) Lead me into the path of thy commandments; for this same I have desired.

41 (118-41) Let thy mercy also come upon me, O Lord: thy salvation according to thy word.
42 (118-42) So shall I answer them that reproach me in any thing; that I have trusted in thy words.
43 (118-43) And take not thou the word of truth utterly out of my mouth: for in thy words, I have hoped exceedingly.

49 (118-49) Be thou mindful of thy word to thy servant, in which thou hast given me hope.
50 (118-50) This hath comforted me in my humiliation: because thy word hath enlivened me.
51 (118-51) The proud did iniquitously altogether: but I declined not from thy law.
52 (118-52) I remembered, O Lord, thy judgments of old: and I was comforted.
53 (118-53) A fainting hath taken hold of me, because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
54 (118-54) Thy justifications were the subject of my song, in the place of my pilgrimage.
55 (118-55) In the night I have remembered thy name, O Lord: and have kept thy law.

66 (118-66) Teach me goodness and discipline and knowledge; for I have believed thy commandments.
67 (118-67) Before I was humbled I offended; therefore have I kept thy word.
68 (118-68) Thou art good; and in thy goodness teach me thy justifications.
69 (118-69) The iniquity of the proud hath been multiplied over me: but I will seek thy commandments with my whole heart.
70 (118-70) Their heart is curdled like milk: but I have meditated on thy law.
71 (118-71) It is good for me that thou hast humbled me, that I may learn thy justifications.
72 (118-72) The law of thy mouth is good to me, above thousands of gold and silver.
73 (118-73) Thy hands have made me and formed me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments.
74 (118-74) They that fear thee shall see me, and shall be glad:because I have greatly hoped in thy words.

82 (118-82) My eyes have failed for thy word, saying: When wilt thou comfort me?
83 (118-83) For I am become like a bottle in the frost: I have not forgotten thy justifications.
84 (118-84) How many are the days of thy servant: when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85 (118-85) The wicked have told me fables: but not as thy law.
86 (118-86) All thy statutes are truth: they have persecuted me unjustly, do thou help me.
87 (118-87) They had almost made an end of me upon earth: but I have not forsaken thy commandments.
88 (118-88) Quicken thou me according to thy mercy: and I shall keep the testimonies of thy mouth.
89 (118-89) For ever, O Lord, thy word standeth firm in heaven.
90 (118-90) Thy truth unto all generations: thou hast founded the earth, and it continueth.
91 (118-91) By thy ordinance the day goeth on: for all things serve thee.
