⁴⁹ Remember the word to Your servant,
Upon which You have caused me to hope.
⁵⁰ This is my ^(A)comfort in my affliction,
For Your word has given me life.
⁵¹ The proud have me in great derision,
Yet I do not turn aside from Your law.

Because of the wicked, who forsake Your law.
⁵⁴ Your statutes have been my songs
In the house of my pilgrimage.
^55 (C)I remember Your name in the night, O Lord,
And I keep Your law.
⁵⁶ This has become mine,
Because I kept Your precepts.

^57 (D)You are my portion, O Lord;
I have said that I would keep Your words.
⁵⁸ I entreated Your favor with my whole heart;
Be merciful to me according to Your word.
⁵⁹ I ^(E)thought about my ways,
And turned my feet to Your testimonies.
⁶⁰ I made haste, and did not delay
To keep Your commandments.
⁶¹ The cords of the wicked have bound me,
But I have not forgotten Your law.
^62 (F)At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You,
Because of Your righteous judgments.
⁶³ I am a companion of all who fear You,
And of those who keep Your precepts.
^64 (G)The earth, O Lord, is full of Your mercy;
Teach me Your statutes.

⁶⁵ You have dealt well with Your servant,
O Lord, according to Your word.
⁶⁶ Teach me good judgment and ^(H)knowledge,
For I believe Your commandments.
⁶⁷ Before I was ^(I)afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep Your word.
⁶⁸ You are ^(J)good, and do good;
Teach me Your statutes.
⁶⁹ The proud have ^(K)forged^[a] a lie against me,
But I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart.
^70 (L)Their heart is ^[b]as fat as grease,
But I delight in Your law.
⁷¹ It is good for me that I have been afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.
^72 (M)The law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of coins of gold and silver.
