Psalms 119:61-71 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

61. Though the snares of the wicked surround me,your law I do not forget.

62. At midnight I rise to praise youbecause of your righteous judgments.

63. I am the friend of all who fear you,of all who observe your precepts.

64. The earth, Lord, is filled with your mercy;teach me your statutes.

65. You have treated your servant well,according to your word, O Lord.

66. Teach me wisdom and knowledge,for in your commandments I trust.

67. Before I was afflicted I went astray,but now I hold to your promise.

68. You are good and do what is good;teach me your statutes.

69. The arrogant smear me with lies,but I keep your precepts with all my heart.

70. Their hearts are gross and fat;as for me, your law is my delight.

71. It was good for me to be afflicted,in order to learn your statutes.
