PSALM 119 (7) 11 10 11 10

49 Remember what you said to me your servant,
for you have given hope to me, O LORD.
50 This is my comfort throughout my affliction:
my life is kept in safety by your word.

51 The arrogant have mocked me without pity;
yet from your law I have not turned aside.
52 O LORD, your ancient laws I have remembered;
through them alone in comfort I abide.

53 The wicked fill my heart with indignation;
they from your holy law have gone astray.
54 The theme of all my praise has been your statutes;
I sing of them in every place I stay.

55 Throughout the night your name, LORD, I remember;
I’ll keep your law whatever comes my way.
56 Throughout my life this has remained my practice;
the precepts you have given I obey.
