61
Even when the cords of the wicked close around me, I don't forget your Torah.
62
At midnight I rise to give you thanks because of your righteous rulings.
63
I am a friend of all who fear you, of those who observe your precepts.
64
The earth, ADONAI, is full of your grace; teach me your laws.
65
(Tet) You have treated your servant well, ADONAI, in keeping with your word.
66
Teach me good judgment and knowledge, because I trust in your mitzvot.
67
Before I was humbled, I used to go astray; but now I observe your word.
68
You are good, and you do good; teach me your laws.
69
The arrogant are slandering me, but I will wholeheartedly keep your precepts.
70
Their hearts are as thick as fat, but I take delight in your Torah.
71
It is for my good that I have been humbled; it was so that I would learn your laws.
