Your hands have made and fashioned me,
And gave me the understanding;
Having my eyes so I can see,
Learning what You are commanding.

Those who fear You shall also see,
Because I have hope in Your Word;
They’ll be glad and rejoice like me,
The beauty I have seen and heard.

I know that your rules are righteous,
Faithfulness has afflicted me;
For righteousness brings me justice,
That gives the discipline to be.

Let Your steadfast love give comfort,
According to Your promised Word;
That the wickedness I avert,
And my destiny be altered.

Let Your tender mercies arrive,
Because Your Law is my delight;
Enables to keep me alive,
And in doing all that is right.

Let the insolent be ashamed,
For they have wronged me with falsehood;
In Your precepts I have proclaimed,
Meditating from where I stood.

Let those who fear You come forward,
That they may know Your testimonies;
So that they know You are their Lord,
And that other gods are phonies.

My heart is blameless to Your Law,
That I may not be put to shame;
And avoiding getting a flaw,
As I continue to proclaim.
