49 Remember the word to Your servant,

Upon which You have caused me to hope.

50 This is my acomfort in my affliction,

For Your word has given me life.

51 The proud have me in great derision,

Yet I do not turn aside from Your law.

52 I remembered Your judgments of old, O Lord,

And have comforted myself.

53 bIndignation has taken hold of me

Because of the wicked, who forsake Your law.

54 Your statutes have been my songs

In the house of my pilgrimage.

55 cI remember Your name in the night, O Lord,

And I keep Your law.

56 This has become mine,

Because I kept Your precepts.

ח Heth

57 dYou are my portion, O Lord;

I have said that I would keep Your words.

58 I entreated Your favor with my whole heart;

Be merciful to me according to Your word.

59 I ethought about my ways,

And turned my feet to Your testimonies.

60 I made haste, and did not delay

To keep Your commandments.

61 The cords of the wicked have bound me,

But I have not forgotten Your law.

62 fAt midnight I will rise to give thanks to You,

Because of Your righteous judgments.

63 I am a companion of all who fear You,

And of those who keep Your precepts.

64 gThe earth, O Lord, is full of Your mercy;

Teach me Your statutes.

ט Teth

65 You have dealt well with Your servant,

O Lord, according to Your word.

66 Teach me good judgment and hknowledge,

For I believe Your commandments.

67 Before I was iafflicted I went astray,

But now I keep Your word.

68 You are jgood, and do good;

Teach me Your statutes.

69 The proud have kforged 2a lie against me,

But I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart.

70 lTheir heart is 3as fat as grease,

But I delight in Your law.

71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted,

That I may learn Your statutes.

72 mThe law of Your mouth is better to me

Than thousands of coins of gold and silver.
