49 Remember your word(B) to your servant,
    for you have given me hope.(C)
50 My comfort in my suffering is this:
    Your promise preserves my life.(D)
51 The arrogant mock me(E) unmercifully,
    but I do not turn(F) from your law.
52 I remember,(G) Lord, your ancient laws,
    and I find comfort in them.
53 Indignation grips me(H) because of the wicked,
    who have forsaken your law.(I)
54 Your decrees are the theme of my song(J)
    wherever I lodge.
55 In the night, Lord, I remember(K) your name,
    that I may keep your law.(L)
56 This has been my practice:
    I obey your precepts.(M)

58 I have sought(P) your face with all my heart;
    be gracious to me(Q) according to your promise.(R)
59 I have considered my ways(S)
    and have turned my steps to your statutes.
60 I will hasten and not delay
    to obey your commands.(T)
61 Though the wicked bind me with ropes,
    I will not forget(U) your law.
62 At midnight(V) I rise to give you thanks
    for your righteous laws.(W)
63 I am a friend to all who fear you,(X)
    to all who follow your precepts.(Y)
64 The earth is filled with your love,(Z) Lord;
    teach me your decrees.(AA)

ט Teth

65 Do good(AB) to your servant
    according to your word,(AC) Lord.
66 Teach me knowledge(AD) and good judgment,
    for I trust your commands.
67 Before I was afflicted(AE) I went astray,(AF)
    but now I obey your word.(AG)
