Psa 119:72The law you have revealed is more important to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.

Psa 119:73

¶

Psa 119:73י (Yod) Your hands made me and formed me. Give me understanding so that I might learn your commands.

Psa 119:74

Psa 119:83For I am like a wineskin dried up in smoke. I do not forget your statutes.

Psa 119:84

Psa 119:84How long must your servant endure this? When will you judge those who pursue me?

Psa 119:85

Psa 119:85The arrogant dig pits to trap me, which violates your law.

Psa 119:86

Psa 119:86All your commands are reliable. I am pursued without reason. Help me!
