62. At midnight I rise to give you thanks for your righteous laws.

63. I am a friend to all who fear you, to all who follow your precepts.

64. The earth is filled with your love, Lord; teach me your decrees.

65. Do good to your servant according to your word, Lord.

66. Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I trust your commands.
