I will run the course of Your commandments, For You shall enlarge my heart.

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
Indignation 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
I remember Your name in the night, O Lord, And I keep Your law.
56
This has become mine, Because I kept Your precepts.
