61The cords of the wicked have ensnared me; I have not forgotten your law.
62At midnight I rise to give thanks to you because of your righteous decrees.
63I am a companion of all who honor you, to all who observe your instructions.
64The earth, Yahweh, is full of your covenant faithfulness; teach me your statutes.
65You have done good to your servant, Yahweh, by means of your word.
66Teach me proper discernment and understanding, for I have believed in your commandments.
67Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I observe your word.
68You are good, and you are one who does good; teach me your statutes.
69The arrogant have smeared me with lies, but I keep your instructions with my whole heart.
