Psalm 119:49–64

ז Zayin

⁴⁹Remember Your word to Your servant;

You have given me hope through it.

⁵⁰This is my comfort in my affliction: ^u

Your promise has given me life.

⁵¹The arrogant constantly ridicule me,

but I do not turn away from Your instruction. ^v

⁵²Lord, I remember Your judgments from long ago

and find comfort.

⁵³Rage seizes me ^wbecause of the wicked

who reject Your instruction. ^x

⁵⁴Your statutes are the theme of my song

during my earthly life. ^y

⁵⁵Yahweh, I remember Your name ^zin the night, ^a

and I obey Your instruction.

⁵⁶This is my practice:

I obey Your precepts. ^b

⁵⁷The Lord is my portion; ^cd

I have promised to keep Your words.

⁵⁸I have sought Your favor ^ewith all my heart;

be gracious to me ^faccording to Your promise.

⁵⁹I thought about my ways ^g

and turned my steps back to Your decrees.

⁶⁰I hurried, not hesitating

to keep Your commands.

⁶¹Though the ropes of the wicked ^h

were wrapped around me,

I did not forget Your instruction. ⁱ

⁶²I rise at midnight to thank You ^j

for Your righteous judgments. ^k

⁶³I am a friend to all who fear You, ^l

to those who keep Your precepts.

⁶⁴Lord, the earth is filled with Your faithful love; ^m

teach me Your statutes. ⁿ
