Your hands have made me
and fashioned me;
Give me understanding,
that I may learn Your commandments.
Those who fear You will be
glad when they see me,
Because I have hoped
in Your word.

I know, O Lord,
that Your judgments are right,
And that in faithfulness
You have afflicted me.
Let, I pray, Your merciful
kindness be for my comfort,
According to Your word
to Your servant.

Let Your tender mercies come
to me, that I may live;
For Your law is my delight.
Let the proud be ashamed,
For they treated me
wrongfully with falsehood;
But I will meditate
on Your precepts.

Let those who fear You
turn to me,
Those who know Your
testimonies.
Let my heart be blameless
regarding Your statutes,
That I may not be ashamed.
