49ZAIN. Remember the word to thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
50This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath revived me.
51The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet I have not declined from thy law.
52I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.
53Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
54Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
55I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.
56This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
57CHETH. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
58I entreated thy favor with my whole heart: be merciful to me according to thy word.
59I thought on my ways, and turned my feet to thy testimonies.
60I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
61The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
62At midnight I will rise to give thanks to thee, because of thy righteous judgments.
63I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
64The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
65TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according to thy word.
66Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
67Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
68Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
69The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
70Their heart is as gross as fat; but I delight in thy law.
