57. Thou art my chelek, Hashem; I have said I would be shomer over Thy words.
58. I sought Thy Face with my kol lev; be gracious unto me according to Thy word.
59. I thought on my drakhim, and turned my feet unto Thy edot (testimonies).
60. I made haste, and delayed not to be shomer over Thy mitzvot.
61. The ropes of the resha'im have bound me; but I have not forgotten Thy torah.
62. At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto Thee because of Thy righteous mishpatim.
