Remember Your word to Your servant,  Zkhor davar le-‘avkha, 
,זְכֹר־דָּבָר לְעַבְדֶּךָ
Through which You gave me hope.  ‘Al ’asher yihaltani. 
.עַל אֲשֶׁר יִחַלְתָּנִי
 
This is my consolation in my affliction,  Zot nèhamati be-‘oneyi, 
,זֹאת נֶחָמָתִי בְעָנְיִי
For Your word has sustained me.  Ki ’imratkha hiyatni. 
.כִּי אִמְרָתְךָ חִיָּתְנִי
 
Villains derided me greatly,  dim hèlitsouni ‘ad-me’od, 
,זֵדִים הֱלִיצֻנִי עַד־מְאֹד
From Your Torah I did not turn away.  Mi-toratkha lo natiti. 
.מִתּוֹרָתְךָ לֹא נָטִיתִי
 
  * Tora means both law and teaching.

  Psalm 119, verses 49, 50 et 51
