Psalms 119:40-59

⁴⁰Lo, I have longed for Thy precepts, In Thy righteousness quicken Thou me,

⁴¹Waw. And meet me doth Thy kindness, O Jehovah, Thy salvation according to Thy saying.

⁴²And I answer him who is reproaching me a word, For I have trusted in Thy word.

⁴³And Thou takest not utterly away From my mouth the word of truth, Because for Thy judgment I have hoped.

⁴⁴And I keep Thy law continually, To the age and for ever.

⁴⁵And I walk habitually in a broad place, For Thy precepts I have sought.

⁴⁶And I speak of Thy testimonies before kings, And I am not ashamed.

⁴⁷And I delight myself in Thy commands, That I have loved,

⁴⁸And I lift up my hands unto Thy commands, That I have loved, And I do meditate on Thy statutes!

⁴⁹Zain. Remember the word to Thy servant, On which Thou hast caused me to hope.

⁵⁰This is my comfort in mine affliction, That Thy saying hath quickened me.

⁵¹The proud have utterly scorned me, From Thy law I have not turned aside.

⁵²I remembered Thy judgments of old, O Jehovah, And I comfort myself.

⁵³Horror hath seized me, Because of the wicked forsaking Thy law.

⁵⁴Songs have been to me Thy statutes, In the house of my sojournings.

⁵⁵I have remembered in the night Thy name, O Jehovah, And I do keep Thy law.

⁵⁶This hath been to me, That Thy precepts I have kept!

⁵⁷Cheth. My portion is Jehovah; I have said — to keep Thy words,

⁵⁸I appeased Thy face with the whole heart, Favour me according to Thy saying.

⁵⁹I have reckoned my ways, And turn back my feet unto Thy testimonies.
