56
This has become mine, Because I kept Your precepts.
57
You 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 thought 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
At 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
The earth, O Lord, is full of Your mercy; Teach me Your statutes.
65
You have dealt well with Your servant, O Lord, according to Your word.
66
Teach me good judgment and knowledge, For I believe Your commandments.
67
Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Your word.
68
You are good, and do good; Teach me Your statutes.
69
The proud have forged a lie against me, But I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart.
70
Their heart is as 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
The law of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of coins of gold and silver.
73
Your hands have made me and fashioned me; Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.
74
Those who fear You will be glad when they see me, Because I have hoped in Your word.
75
I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are right, And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.
76
Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort, According to Your word to Your servant.
