49 Remember your words to your servant,

for you have given me hope.t

50 My comfort in my suffering is this:

Your promise preserves my life.u

51 The arrogant mock mev unmercifully,

but I do not turnw from your law.

52 I remember,x Lord, your ancient laws,

and I find comfort in them.

53 Indignation grips mey because of the wicked,

who have forsaken your law.z

54 Your decrees are the theme of my songa

wherever I lodge.

55 In the night, Lord, I rememberb your name,

that I may keep your law.c

56 This has been my practice:

I obey your precepts.d

57 You are my portion,e Lord;

I have promised to obey your words.f

58 I have soughtg your face with all my heart;

be gracious to meh according to your promise.i

59 I have considered my waysj

and have turned my steps to your statutes.

60 I will hasten and not delay

to obey your commands.k

61 Though the wicked bind me with ropes,

I will not forgetl your law.

62 At midnightm I rise to give you thanks

for your righteous laws.n

63 I am a friend to all who fear you,o

to all who follow your precepts.p

64 The earth is filled with your love,q Lord;

teach me your decrees.r
