ז

Zayin.

49 Remember the word to Your servant,

1In which You have made me hope.

50 This is my acomfort in my affliction,

That Your word has 1revived me.

51 The arrogant autterly deride me,

Yet I do not bturn aside from Your law.

52 I have aremembered Your ordinances from 1of old, O Lord,

And comfort myself.

53 Burning aindignation has seized me because of the wicked,

Who bforsake Your law.

54 Your statutes are my songs

In the house of my apilgrimage.

55 O Lord, I aremember Your name bin the night,

And keep Your law.

56 This has become mine,

1That I aobserve Your precepts.

ח

Heth.

57 The Lord is my aportion;

I have 1promised to bkeep Your words.

58 I asought Your favor bwith all my heart;

cBe gracious to me daccording to Your 1word.

59 I aconsidered my ways

And turned my feet to Your testimonies.

60 I hastened and did not delay

To keep Your commandments.

61 The acords of the wicked have encircled me,

But I have bnot forgotten Your law.

62 At amidnight I shall rise to give thanks to You

Because of Your brighteous ordinances.

63 I am a acompanion of all those who 1fear You,

And of those who keep Your precepts.

64 aThe earth is full of Your lovingkindness, O Lord;

bTeach me Your statutes.

O Lord, according to Your word.

For I believe in Your commandments.

But now I keep Your word.

cTeach me Your statutes.

69 The arrogant 1have aforged a lie against me;

With all my heart I will bobserve Your precepts.

But I bdelight in Your law.

71 It is agood for me that I was afflicted,

That I may learn Your statutes.

72 The alaw of Your mouth is better to me

Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
