Psalm 119:57-72

English Standard Version

^57 (A)The Lord is my portion;
    I promise to keep your words.
⁵⁸ I ^(B)entreat your favor with all my heart;
    be gracious to me ^(C)according to your promise.
⁵⁹ When I ^(D)think on my ways,
    I turn my feet to your testimonies;
⁶⁰ I hasten and do not delay
    to keep your commandments.
⁶¹ Though ^(E)the cords of the wicked ensnare me,
    I do not ^(F)forget your law.
⁶² At ^(G)midnight I rise to praise you,
    because of your ^(H)righteous rules.
^63 (I)I am a companion of all who fear you,
    of those who keep your precepts.
^64 (J)The earth, O Lord, is full of your steadfast love;
    ^(K)teach me your statutes!

⁶⁵ You have dealt well with your servant,
    O Lord, ^(L)according to your word.
⁶⁶ Teach me ^(M)good judgment and knowledge,
    for I believe in your commandments.
^67 (N)Before I was afflicted I went astray,
    but now I keep your word.
^68 (O)You are good and do good;
    ^(P)teach me your statutes.
^69 (Q)The insolent ^(R)smear me with lies,
    but with my whole heart I ^(S)keep your precepts;
⁷⁰ their heart is unfeeling ^(T)like fat,
    but I ^(U)delight in your law.
⁷¹ It is ^(V)good for me that I was afflicted,
    that I might learn your statutes.
^72 (W)The law of your mouth is better to me
    than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
