GIMEL Give me, your servant, the reward of life, so that I may keep your word;
Come back to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has given you your reward.
Be my support as you have said, and give me life; let not my hope be turned to shame.
Be good to your servant in your mercy, and give me teaching in your rules.
Let your eyes be turned to me, and have mercy on me, as it is right for you to do to those who are lovers of your name.
The righteousness of your unchanging word is eternal; give me wisdom so that I may have life.
Give life to my soul so that it may give you praise; and let your decisions be my support.
Happy are they who keep his unchanging word, searching after him with all their heart.
TETH You have done good to your servant, O Lord, in keeping with your word.
Let your gentle mercies come to me, so that I may have life; for your law is my delight.
I will make a song to the Lord, because he has given me my reward.
From his full measure we have all been given grace on grace.
For by his act we were given existence in Christ Jesus to do those good works which God before made ready for us so that we might do them.
And my God will give you all you have need of from the wealth of his glory in Christ Jesus.
If you have knowledge that he is upright, it is clear to you that everyone who does righteousness is his offspring.
