    wherever I lodge.

    be gracious to me^(M) according to your promise.^(N)
59 I have considered my ways^(O)
    and have turned my steps to your statutes.
⁶⁰ I will hasten and not delay
    to obey your commands.^(P)
61 Though the wicked bind me with ropes,

    but now I obey your word.^(AC)

    teach me your decrees.^(AE)
69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies,^(AF)
    I keep your precepts with all my heart.
