57The LORD is my portion: I have said that I would observe thy words.
58I entreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.
59I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
60I made haste, and delayed not, to observe thy commandments.
61The cords of the wicked have wrapped me round; but I have not forgotten thy law.
62At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
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.
65Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.
66Teach me good judgment and knowledge; for I have believed in thy commandments.
67Before I was afflicted I went astray; but now I observe thy word.
68Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
69The proud have forged a lie against me: with my whole heart will I keep thy precepts.
70Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
71It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
72The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
73Thy 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 hoped in thy word.
75I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.
76Let, I pray thee, thy lovingkindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
77Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
78Let the proud be ashamed; for they have overthrown me wrongfully: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
79Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and they shall know thy testimonies.
80Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
81My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
82Mine eyes fail for thy word, while I say, When wilt thou comfort me?
83For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
84How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85The proud have digged pits for me, who are not after thy law.
