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►.
58 With all my inner being I plead with you to be good to me; be kind to me, like you promised/said that you would do.
59 I have thought about my behavior, and I have decided to return to obeying ◄your requirements/what you have instructed us to do►.
