Their hearts are calloused, but I find delight in your law.

May I experience your compassion, so I might live! For I find delight in your law.

If I had not found encouragement in your law, I would have died in my sorrow.

My life is in continual danger, but I do not forget your law.

ס (Samek) I hate people with divided loyalties, but I love your law.

I hate and despise deceit; I love your law.

I long for your deliverance, O Lord; I find delight in your law.
