Psalm 119:49–64

⁴⁹Remember thy word to thy servant,

in which thou hast made me hope.

⁵⁰This is my comfort in my affliction

that thy promise gives me life.

⁵¹Godless men utterly deride me,

but I do not turn away from thy law.

⁵²When I think of thy ordinances from of old,

I take comfort, O Lord.

⁵³Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked,

who forsake thy law.

⁵⁴Thy statutes have been my songs

in the house of my pilgrimage.

⁵⁵I remember thy name in the night, O Lord,

and keep thy law.

⁵⁶This blessing has fallen to me,

that I have kept thy precepts.

⁵⁷The Lord is my portion;

I promise to keep thy words.

⁵⁸I entreat thy favor with all my heart;

be gracious to me according to thy promise.

⁵⁹When I think of thy ways,

I turn my feet to thy testimonies;

⁶⁰I hasten and do not delay

to keep thy commandments.

⁶¹Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me,

I do not forget thy law.

⁶²At midnight I rise to praise thee,

because of thy righteous ordinances.

⁶³I am a companion of all who fear thee,

of those who keep thy precepts.

⁶⁴The earth, O Lord, is full of thy steadfast love;

teach me thy statutes!
