Praise the Lord, all you nations! Applaud him, all you foreigners!

The Lord severely punished me, but he did not hand me over to death.

I will meditate on your precepts and focus on your behavior.

I find delight in your statutes; I do not forget your instructions.

I am like a foreigner in this land. Do not hide your commands from me!

I remember your name during the night, O Lord, and I will keep your law.

Before I was afflicted I used to stray off, but now I keep your instructions.

You are good and you do good. Teach me your statutes!

May your loyal followers turn to me, those who know your rules.

The arrogant dig pits to trap me, which violates your law.

I belong to you. Deliver me! For I seek your precepts.

I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your rules.

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

You are my hiding place and my shield. I find hope in your word.

פ (Pe) Your rules are marvelous. Therefore I observe them.

Direct my steps by your word! Do not let any sin dominate me!

צ (Tsade) You are just, O Lord, and your judgments are fair.

The rules you impose are just, and absolutely reliable.

Your word is absolutely pure, and your servant loves it!

I am insignificant and despised, yet I do not forget your precepts.
