49 Remember your word to your servant, ♦︎
on which you have built my hope.
50 This is my comfort in my trouble, ♦︎
that your promise gives me life.
51 The proud have derided me cruelly, ♦︎
but I have not turned aside from your law.
52 I have remembered your everlasting judgements, O Lord, ♦︎
and have been comforted.
53 I am seized with indignation at the wicked, ♦︎
for they have forsaken your law.
54 Your statutes have been like songs to me ♦︎
in the house of my pilgrimage.
55 I have thought on your name in the night, O Lord, ♦︎
and so have I kept your law.
56 These blessings have been mine, ♦︎
for I have kept your commandments.
57 You only are my portion, O Lord; ♦︎
I have promised to keep your words.
58 I entreat you with all my heart, ♦︎
be merciful to me according to your promise.
59 I have considered my ways ♦︎
and turned my feet back to your testimonies.
60 I made haste and did not delay ♦︎
to keep your commandments.
61 Though the cords of the wicked entangle me, ♦︎
I do not forget your law.
62 At midnight I will rise to give you thanks, ♦︎
because of your righteous judgements.
63 I am a companion of all those who fear you, ♦︎
those who keep your commandments.
64 The earth, O Lord, is full of your faithful love; ♦︎
instruct me in your statutes.
65 You have dealt graciously with your servant, ♦︎
according to your word, O Lord.
66 O teach me true understanding and knowledge, ♦︎
for I have trusted in your commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, ♦︎
but now I keep your word.
68 You are gracious and do good; ♦︎
O Lord, teach me your statutes.
69 The proud have smeared me with lies, ♦︎
but I will keep your commandments with my whole heart.
70 Their heart has become gross with fat, ♦︎
but my delight is in your law.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, ♦︎
that I may learn your statutes.
72 The law of your mouth is dearer to me ♦︎
than a hoard of gold and silver.
