I have stuck unto thy testimonies...

...O Jehovah - put me not to shame.

Verse z (or "zed") - or decimal thirty one.

Pull that thumb in and make a fist! All digits in on the right hand!

By the way, I need that verse right now.

Sincerely,

Daniel Robbins

I have chosen the way of truth...

...thy judgements have I laid before me.

Verse y dtg (wye), or decimal "thirty".

I will call this the "Thumb Up" number, because all the fingers are in, and only the thumb is up (on my right hand).

Sincerely,

Daniel

Remove from me the way of lying...

...and grant me thy law graciously.

Verse x dtg "ex" (decimal "29", or "twenty nine")

"Point with your index finger" and you have got it! In other words, every digit is "in" except the index finger.

My soul melteth for heaviness;...

...quicken thou me according unto thy word.

Verse "w dtg", or "wooh"; which equals decimal twenty eight.

The little, ring, and middle fingers are now all down on my right hand, while the index finger and thumb are up!

Sincerely,

Daniel

Make me understand the way of thy precepts...

...so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.

Now all we have to do is pull in our right thumb; and, of course, keep that middle finger down!

Verse: "vih" or "v" in Base Thirty Two

Love,

Daniel

I have declared my ways...

...and thou heardest me - teach me thy statutes.

Verse "tih", or "t" in Base Thirty Two

Aright! With this one, we need to make sure we are not making any inappropriate gestures! Therefore, instead of sticking our middle finger up, we pull it down OVER TOP of the thumb muscle. So: the Thumb is up, and every finger other than the middle finger is pulled in and tucked IN BEHIND the thumb muscle and palm of our right hand. Again, the middle finger is down and OVER TOP of the thumb muscle. That way, it is distinct from the other digits, but also not sticking up and sending inappropriate messages. You can see a picture of what I mean here: Tih.

Love,

Daniel

DALETH

Pronounced: "Dah-let"

"My soul cleaveth unto the dust; quicken thou me according to thy word."

Verse "us", or "s dtg" (and dtg stands for duotrigesimal, or Base Thirty Two)

The same as "rah", but now the thumb is pulled in, helping to hold down the ring finger - so the middle and index fingers are sticking out. By the way, the decimal equivalent is "twenty five".

Sincerely,

Daniel
