57
The Lord is my portion;a I have promised to keep Your words.
58
I have sought Your favor with all my heart; be gracious to me according to Your promise.
59
I thought about my ways and turned my steps back to Your decrees.
60
I hurried, not hesitating to keep Your commands.
61
Though the ropes of the wicked were wrapped around me, I did not forget Your law.
62
I rise at midnight to thank You for Your righteous judgments.
63
I am a friend to all who fear You, to those who keep Your precepts.
64
Lord, the earth is filled with Your faithful love; teach me Your statutes.
