Psalm 119:49-64
Holman Christian Standard Bible
ז Zayin
49 Remember Your word to Your servant;
You have given me hope through it.
50 This is my comfort in my affliction:(A)
Your promise has given me life.
51 The arrogant constantly ridicule me,
but I do not turn away from Your instruction.(B)
52 Lord, I remember Your judgments from long ago
and find comfort.
53 Rage seizes me(C) because of the wicked
who reject Your instruction.(D)
54 Your statutes are the theme of my song
during my earthly life.[a]
55 Yahweh, I remember Your name(E) in the night,(F)
and I obey Your instruction.
56 This is my practice:
I obey Your precepts.(G)
ח Khet
57 The Lord is my portion;[b](H)
I have promised to keep Your words.
58 I have sought Your favor(I) with all my heart;
be gracious to me(J) according to Your promise.
59 I thought about my ways(K)
and turned my steps back to Your decrees.
60 I hurried, not hesitating
to keep Your commands.
61 Though the ropes of the wicked(L)
were wrapped around me,
I did not forget Your instruction.(M)
62 I rise at midnight to thank You(N)
for Your righteous judgments.(O)
63 I am a friend to all who fear You,(P)
to those who keep Your precepts.
64 Lord, the earth is filled with Your faithful love;(Q)
teach me Your statutes.(R)
