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.
