Psalm 119:57–64

You are my portion, Lord;

I have promised to obey your words.

I have sought your face with all my heart;

be gracious to me according to your promise.

I have considered my ways

and have turned my steps to your statutes.

I will hasten and not delay

to obey your commands.

Though the wicked bind me with ropes,

I will not forget your law.

At midnight I rise to give you thanks

for your righteous laws.

I am a friend to all who fear you,

to all who follow your precepts.

The earth is filled with your love, Lord;

teach me your decrees.

The Lord is my portion;

I have promised to keep your words.

I have sought your favor with all my heart;

be gracious to me according to your promise.

I thought about my ways

and turned my steps back to your decrees.

I hurried, not hesitating

to keep your commands.

Though the ropes of the wicked

were wrapped around me,

I did not forget your instruction.

I rise at midnight to thank you

for your righteous judgments.

I am a friend to all who fear you,

to those who keep your precepts.

Lord, the earth is filled with your faithful love;

teach me your statutes.

Lord, you are mine!

I promise to obey your words!

With all my heart I want your blessings.

Be merciful as you promised.

I pondered the direction of my life,

and I turned to follow your laws.

I will hurry, without delay,

to obey your commands.

Evil people try to drag me into sin,

but I am firmly anchored to your instructions.

I rise at midnight to thank you

for your just regulations.

I am a friend to anyone who fears you—

anyone who obeys your commandments.

O Lord, your unfailing love fills the earth;

teach me your decrees.

Yahweh is my portion;

I intend to heed your words.

I seek your favor with my whole heart;

be gracious to me according to your word.

I think about my ways,

and turn my feet to your testimonies.

I hurry and do not delay

to heed your commands.

The cords of the wicked surround me,

but I do not forget your law.

In the middle of the night I rise to give you thanks,

because of your righteous ordinances.

I am a companion of all who fear you

and heed your precepts.

The earth, O Yahweh, is full of your loyal love.

Teach me your statutes.

CHETH.

Thou art my portion, O Lord:

I have said that I would keep thy words.

I intreated thy favour with my whole heart:

Be merciful unto me according to thy word.

I thought on my ways,

And turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

I made haste, and delayed not

To keep thy commandments.

The bands of the wicked have robbed me:

But I have not forgotten thy law.

At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee

Because of thy righteous judgments.

I am a companion of all them that fear thee,

And of them that keep thy precepts.

The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy:

Teach me thy statutes.
