57. Jehovah is my portion: I have said that I would observe thy words.
58. I entreated thy favor with my whole heart: Be merciful unto me according to thy word.
59. I thought on my ways, And turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
60. I made haste, and delayed not, To observe thy commandments.
61. The cords of the wicked have wrapped me round; But I have not forgotten thy law.
62. At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee Because of thy righteous ordinances.
63. I am a companion of all them that fear thee, And of them that observe thy precepts.
64. The earth, O Jehovah, is full of thy lovingkindness: Teach me thy statutes.
65. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Jehovah, according unto thy word.

68. Thou art good, and doest good; Teach me thy statutes.
69. The proud have forged a lie against me: With my whole heart will I keep thy precepts.
70. Their heart is as fat as grease; But I delight in thy law.
71. It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I may learn thy statutes.
72. The law of thy mouth is better unto me Than thousands of gold and silver.
73. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
74. They that fear thee shall see me and be glad, Because I have hoped in thy word.
