42So shall I answer my slanderers, for my trust is in your word.
43Snatch not from my mouth the word of truth, for in your judgements I hope.
44I will keep your law continually, for ever and evermore.
45So shall I walk in wide spaces, for I give my mind to your precepts.
46I will speak of your charge before kings, and will not be ashamed thereof.
47Your commandments are my delight, I love them exceedingly.
48I will lift up my hands to your commandments, and muse upon your statutes.
49Remember your word to your servant, on which you have made me to hope.
50This is my comfort in trouble, that your word gives life to me.
51The arrogant utterly scorn me, but I have not declined from your law.
52When I think of your judgements of old, O Lord, I take to me comfort.
53I am seized with glowing anger at the wicked who forsake your law.
54Your statutes have been to me songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
55I remember your name in the night, O Lord and observe your law.
56My lot has been this, that I have kept your precepts.
57My portion are you, O Lord: I have promised to keep your words.
58I entreat you with all my heart; grant me your promised favour.
59I have thought upon my ways, and turned my feet to your charges.
60I hasted and tarried not to give heed to your commandments.
61Though the godless have wound their cords round me, I have not forgotten your law.
62At midnight I rise to praise you because of your righteous judgements.
63With all those who fear you I company, aid with those who observe your precepts.
64The earth, Lord, is full of your kindness; teach me your Statutes.
65Well have you dealt with your servant, as you have promised, O Lord.
66Teach me discretion and knowledge, for I have believed your commandments.
67Till trouble came I was a wanderer, but now I observe your word.
68You are good and do good; teach me your statutes.
