Psalm 119:49-72

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁴⁹ Remember the word to Your servant,
^[a]In which You have made me hope.
⁵⁰ This is my ^(A)comfort in my affliction,
That Your word has ^[b]revived me.
⁵¹ The arrogant ^(B)utterly deride me,
Yet I do not ^(C)turn aside from Your law.
⁵² I have ^(D)remembered Your ordinances from ^[c]of old, O Lord,
And comfort myself.
⁵³ Burning ^(E)indignation has seized me because of the wicked,
Who ^(F)forsake Your law.
⁵⁴ Your statutes are my songs
In the house of my ^(G)pilgrimage.
⁵⁵ O Lord, I ^(H)remember Your name ^(I)in the night,
And keep Your law.
⁵⁶ This has become mine,
^[d]That I ^(J)observe Your precepts.

⁵⁷ The Lord is my ^(K)portion;
I have ^[e]promised to ^(L)keep Your words.
⁵⁸ I ^(M)sought Your favor ^(N)with all my heart;
^(O)Be gracious to me ^(P)according to Your ^[f]word.
⁵⁹ I ^(Q)considered my ways
And turned my feet to Your testimonies.
⁶⁰ I hastened and did not delay
To keep Your commandments.
⁶¹ The ^(R)cords of the wicked have encircled me,
But I have ^(S)not forgotten Your law.
⁶² At ^(T)midnight I shall rise to give thanks to You
Because of Your ^(U)righteous ordinances.
⁶³ I am a ^(V)companion of all those who ^[g]fear You,
And of those who keep Your precepts.
^64 (W)The earth is full of Your lovingkindness, O Lord;
^(X)Teach me Your statutes.

⁶⁵ You have dealt well with Your servant,
O Lord, according to Your word.
⁶⁶ Teach me good ^[h](Y)discernment and knowledge,
For I believe in Your commandments.
^67 (Z)Before I was afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep Your word.
⁶⁸ You are ^(AA)good and ^(AB)do good;
^(AC)Teach me Your statutes.
⁶⁹ The arrogant ^[i]have ^(AD)forged a lie against me;
With all my heart I will ^(AE)observe Your precepts.
⁷⁰ Their heart is ^[j](AF)covered with fat,
But I ^(AG)delight in Your law.
⁷¹ It is ^(AH)good for me that I was afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.
⁷² The ^(AI)law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
