Hear Us, Shepherd (80)

Your `hands have made me and_ / formed~ me.

`Give me understanding, that I may learn / your commandments.

`Those who fear_ you will see me / and be glad,

be `cause I have_ put my hope_ / in your word.

`LORD_, I know that your judgments / are~ righteous,

`that in faithfulness you have af / flicted me.

`Please_ let your loving kindness / comfort me,

ac `cording to your word_ / to your servant.

(Ref)

`Let your tender mercies come to me, that / I may live;

`for your law is / my delight.

`Let the proud be put to shame, for they have overthrown me / wrongfully.

`I will meditate_ / on your precepts.

`Let_ those who fear you / turn to me.

`They will / know your statutes.

`Let my heart be blameless toward_ / your decrees,

that `I may not be / put to shame.
