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.
