“You have made me; You created me. Now give me the sense to follow Your commands. May all who fear you find in me a cause worth joy, for I have put my hope in Your word. I know, O Lord, that Your regulations are fair; You disciplined me because I needed it. Now let Your unfailing love comfort me, just as You promised me, Your servant. Surround me with Your tender mercies so I may live, for Your instructions are my delight.Bring disgrace upon the arrogant people who lied about me; meanwhile, I will concentrate on Your commandments. Let me be united with all who fear You, with those who know Your laws. May I be blameless in keeping Your decrees; then I will never be ashamed. (vv 73-80, NLT)
