Psalms 119:40-52

⁴⁰Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: Quicken me in thy righteousness.

⁴¹Let thy lovingkindnesses also come unto me, O Jehovah, Even thy salvation, according to thy word.

⁴²So shall I have an answer for him that reproacheth me; For I trust in thy word.

⁴³And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; For I have hoped in thine ordinances.

⁴⁴So shall I observe thy law continually For ever and ever.

⁴⁵And I shall walk at liberty; For I have sought thy precepts.

⁴⁶I will also speak of thy testimonies before kings, And shall not be put to shame.

⁴⁷And I will delight myself in thy commandments, Which I have loved.

⁴⁸I will lift up my hands also unto thy commandments, which I have loved; And I will meditate on thy statutes.

⁴⁹Remember the word unto thy servant, Because thou hast made me to hope.

⁵⁰This is my comfort in my affliction; For thy word hath quickened me.

⁵¹The proud have had me greatly in derision: Yet have I not swerved from thy law.

⁵²I have remembered thine ordinances of old, O Jehovah, And have comforted myself.
