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 judgments 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 favor.
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 judgments.
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.
69The proud have forged lies against me, but I keep your precepts with all my heart.
70Their heart is gross like fat, but I delight in your law.
71It was good for me to be humbled, that I should learn your statutes.
72The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
73Your hands have made me and fashioned me; make me wise to learn your commandments.
74Those who fear you shall see me with joy, for in your word have I hoped.
75I know, O Lord, that your judgments are right, and in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
76Let your love be a comfort to me, for so have you promised your servant.
77Visit me with your quickening pity, for your law is my delight.
78Put the proud to shame, who have wronged me falsely: I will muse on your precepts.
79Let those turn to me who fear you, that they may learn your charges.
