57Lord, you are everything I need.

I have promised to obey your words.

Be kind to me as you have promised.

59I have thought about the way I live.

And I have decided to follow your covenant laws.

60I won’t waste any time.

I will be quick to obey your commands.

61Evil people may tie me up with ropes.

But I won’t forget to obey your law.

62At midnight I get up to give you thanks

because your decisions are very fair.

63I’m a friend to everyone who has respect for you.

I’m a friend to everyone who follows your rules.

64Lord, the earth is filled with your love.

Teach me your orders.

The Lord is my portion;

I promise to keep your words.

I entreat your favor with all my heart;

be gracious to me according to your promise.

When I think on my ways,

I turn my feet to your testimonies;

I hasten and do not delay

to keep your commandments.

Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me,

I do not forget your law.

At midnight I rise to praise you,

because of your righteous rules.

I am a companion of all who fear you,

of those who keep your precepts.

The earth, O Lord, is full of your steadfast love;

teach me 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.

NLTNew Living Translation

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.

to heed your commands.

but I do not forget your law.

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.
