52. When I have [earnestly] recalled Your ordinances from of old, O Lord, I have taken comfort.
53. Burning indignation, terror, and sadness seize upon me because of the wicked, who forsake Your law.
54. Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
55. I have [earnestly] remembered Your name, O Lord, in the night, and I have observed Your law.
56. This I have had [as the gift of Your grace and as my reward]: that I have kept Your precepts [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying them].
57. You are my portion, O Lord; I have promised to keep Your words.
58. I entreated Your favor with my whole heart; be merciful and gracious to me according to Your promise.
59. I considered my ways; I turned my feet to [obey] Your testimonies.
60. I made haste and delayed not to keep Your commandments.
61. Though the cords of the wicked have enclosed and ensnared me, I have not forgotten Your law.
62. At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You because of Your righteous ordinances.
