Psalm 119:49-56

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴⁹ Remember the word ⌞you gave⌟ me.
Through it you gave me hope.
⁵⁰ This is my comfort in my misery:
Your promise gave me a new life.
⁵¹ Arrogant people have mocked me with cruelty,
yet I have not turned away from your teachings.
⁵² I remembered your regulations from long ago, O Lord,
and I found comfort ⌞in them⌟.
⁵³ I am burning with anger because of wicked people,
who abandon your teachings.
⁵⁴ Your laws have become like psalms to me
in this place where I am only a foreigner.
⁵⁵ At night I remember your name, O Lord,
and I follow your teachings.
⁵⁶ This has happened to me
because I have obeyed your guiding principles.
