45So that my way may be in a wide place: because my search has been for your orders.
46So that I may give knowledge of your unchanging word before kings, and not be put to shame.
47And so that I may take delight in your teachings, to which I have given my love.
48And so that my hands may be stretched out to you; and I will give thought to your rules.
49ZAIN Keep in mind your word to your servant, for on it has my hope been fixed.
50This is my comfort in my trouble; that your sayings have given me life.
51The men of pride have made great sport of me; but I have not been turned from your law.
52I have kept the memory of your decisions from times past, O Lord; and they have been my comfort.
53I am burning with wrath, because of the sinners who have given up your law.
54Your rules have been melodies to me, while I have been living in strange lands.
55I have given thought to your name in the night, O Lord, and have kept your law.
56This has been true of me, that I have kept your orders in my heart.
57CHETH The Lord is my heritage: I have said that I would be ruled by your words.
58I have given my mind to do your pleasure with all my heart; have mercy on me, as you have said.
59I gave thought to my steps, and my feet were turned into the way of your unchanging word.
60I was quick to do your orders, and let no time be wasted.
61The cords of evil-doers are round me; but I have kept in mind your law.
62In the middle of the night I will get up to give you praise, because of all your right decisions.
63I keep company with all your worshippers, and those who have your orders in their memory.
64The earth, O Lord, is full of your mercy: give me knowledge of your rules.
65TETH You have done good to your servant, O Lord, in keeping with your word.
66Give me knowledge and good sense; for I have put my faith in your teachings.
67Before I was in trouble I went out of the way; but now I keep your word.
68You are good, and your works are good; give me knowledge of your rules.
69The men of pride have said false things about me; but I will keep your orders in my heart.
