51The proud have had me greatly in derision; Yet have I not swerved from thy law.
52I remember thy judgments of old, O LORD! And I comfort myself.
53Indignation burneth within me, On account of the wicked who forsake thy law.
54Thy statutes have been my song In the house of my pilgrimage.
55In the night, O LORD! I think of thy name, And keep thy law!
56This have I as my own, That I keep thy precepts.
57Thou art my portion, O LORD! I have resolved that I will keep thy precepts.
58I have sought thy favor with my whole heart; Be gracious unto me according to thy promise!
59I think on my ways, And turn my feet to thy statutes;
60I make haste, and delay not, To keep thy commandments.
61The snares of the wicked surround me; Yet do I not forget thy law.
62At midnight I rise to give thanks to thee On account of thy righteous judgments.
63I am the companion of all who fear thee, And who obey thy precepts.
64The earth, O LORD! is full of thy goodness; O teach me thy statutes!
65Thou dost bless thy servant, O LORD! According to thy promise!
66Teach me sound judgment and knowledge! For I have faith in thy commandments.
67Before I was afflicted, I went astray; But now I keep thy word.
