  1.  Lord, You dealt well with me as Your word says;
      Teach me in judgment and knowledge, I pray.
      Although I strayed, I have turned to Your ways,
      And I believe Your commandments are just.
      Proud men and godless besmear me with lies;
      their minds are dull and their hearts are as gross!
      But I delight in Your precepts and laws;
      More than with thousands in silver and gold.

  2.  Your hands have fashioned and made me, O Lord;
      To understand and to learn Your commands;
      Those who see me shall fear You and rejoice,
      Because I trusted and hoped in Your word.
      I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are right;
      You did afflict me in Your faithfulness.
      But now console me with Your steadfast love;
      For I rely on Your mercy and love.

  3.  For Your salvation my soul does cry out;
      I have become like a wine-skin in smoke;
      Yet do I not forget Your righteous law.
      How many days must your servant endure?
      When will You judge those who, persecute me;
      Those who are false and regard not Your law?
      They have almost made an end of my life;
      But as for me, I forsake not Your law.
