73. Your hands made me and fashioned me; give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments. 74. May those who fear You see me and be glad, because I wait for Your word. 75. I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me. 76. O may Your lovingkindness comfort me, according to Your word to Your servant. 77. May Your compassion come to me that I may live, for Your law is my delight. 78. May the arrogant be ashamed, for they subvert me with a lie; but I shall meditate on Your precepts. 79. May those who fear You turn to me, even those who know Your testimonies. 80. May my heart be blameless in Your statutes, so that I will not be ashamed. (NAS version)
The words of this stanza are profound. This Psalmist knew that God is his Creator (v.73).
What do you learn from verses 75,76 and 77 about the Lord and our response to His care for me?
May my heart be blameless in Your statutes, so that I will not be ashamed. Psalm 119:80
