51 Proud people are always making fun of me, but I do not ◄turn away from/stop► obeying your laws.
52 Yahweh, when I think about ◄your regulations/the rules► that you gave to us long ago, I am comforted/encouraged.
53 When I see that wicked people have disregarded your laws, I become very angry.
54 While I have been living here for a short time on the earth, I have written songs about ◄your statutes/what you have decreed that we should do►.
55 Yahweh, during the night I think about you MTY, and so I obey your laws.
56 What I have always done is to obey ◄your principles of behavior/what you have declared that we should do►.
57 Yahweh, you are the one whom I have chosen, and I promise to ◄obey your words/do what you have told us to do►.
