53
Indignation has taken hold of me Because of the wicked, who forsake Your law.
54
Your statutes have been my songs In the house of my pilgrimage.
55
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
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 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
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.
