Psalms 119:51-69

⁵¹The presumptuous have held me too greatly in derision: yet have I not departed away from thy law.

⁵²I remembered thy decrees which were from olden times, O Lord, and thus comforted myself.

⁵³Horror seized on me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

⁵⁴Songs have thy statutes been unto me in the house of my pilgrimage.

⁵⁵I remembered in the night thy name, O Lord, and observed thy law.

⁵⁶This came to pass unto me, because I had kept thy precepts.

⁵⁷CHETH. My portion is the Lord, have I said, that I might observe thy words.

⁵⁸I make entreaty before thee with all my heart: be gracious unto me according to thy promise.

⁵⁹I have thought over my ways, and made my feet return unto thy testimonies.

⁶⁰I hastened, and delayed not to observe thy commandments.

⁶¹Companies of wicked men have surrounded me; but I have not forgotten thy law.

⁶²At midnights do I constantly rise to give thanks unto thee, because of thy righteous decrees.

⁶³An associate am I unto all that fear thee, and unto those that keep thy precepts.

⁶⁴Of thy kindness, O Lord, is the earth full: teach me thy statutes.

⁶⁵TETH. Thou hast shown goodness on thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word.

⁶⁶The best of discernment and knowledge do thou teach me; for in thy commandments do I believe.

⁶⁷Before I was afflicted I was in error; but now I observe thy saying.

⁶⁸Thou art good, and doing good: teach me thy statutes.

⁶⁹The presumptuous have invented falsehoods against me; but I will with all my heart indeed keep thy precepts.
