56This I have had, that I have kept Thy precepts.
57HETH. My portion is the LORD, I have said that I would observe Thy words.
58I have entreated Thy favour with my whole heart; be gracious unto me according to Thy word.
59I considered my ways, and turned my feet unto Thy testimonies.
60I made haste, and delayed not, to observe Thy commandments.
61The bands of the wicked have enclosed me; but I have not forgotten Thy law.
62At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto Thee because of Thy righteous ordinances.
63I am a companion of all them that fear Thee, and of them that observe Thy precepts.
64The earth, O LORD, is full of Thy mercy; teach me Thy statutes.
65TETH. Thou hast dealt well with Thy servant, O LORD, according unto Thy word.
66Teach me good discernment and knowledge; for I have believed Thy commandments.
67Before I was afflicted, I did err; but now I observe Thy word.
68Thou art good, and doest good; teach me Thy statutes.
69The proud have forged a lie against me; but I with my whole heart will keep Thy precepts.
70Their heart is gross like fat; but I delight in Thy law.
71It is good for me that I have been afflicted, in order that I might learn Thy statutes.
72The law of Thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
73JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding, that I may learn Thy commandments.
74They that fear Thee shall see me and be glad, because I have hope in Thy word.
75I know, O LORD, that Thy judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness Thou hast afflicted me.
