51
The proud have me in great derision, Yet I do not turn aside from Your law.
52
I remembered Your judgments of old, O Lord, And have comforted myself.
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.
