Psalm 119:49-56

New International Reader's Version

⁴⁹ Remember what you have said to me.
    You have given me hope.
⁵⁰ Even when I suffer, I am comforted
    because you promised to keep me alive.
⁵¹ Proud people make fun of me without mercy.
    But I don’t turn away from your law.
⁵² Lord, I remember the laws you gave long ago.
    I find comfort in them.
⁵³ I am very angry
    because evil people have turned away from your law.
⁵⁴ No matter where I live,
    I sing about your orders.
⁵⁵ Lord, during the night I remember who you are.
    That’s why I keep your law.
⁵⁶ I have really done my best
    to obey your rules.
