Psalms 119:51-61

51Proud people laugh at me all the time. But I do not turn away from your Law.

52Lord, I remember the rules that you made long ago. When I do that, I feel happy.

53When wicked people turn against your Law, I become very angry.

54Wherever I live, I sing songs about your rules.

55In the night, Lord, I think about who you are. I will continue to obey your Law.

56This is what I do every day: I obey your teaching.

57Lord, you are everything that I need. I promise to obey your rules.

58I ask you, ‘Please, please take care of me. Be kind and forgive me, as you have promised to do.’

59I have thought about the way that I live. I have decided to return to your teaching.

60I will be quick to obey your commands. I will not be slow to do that.

61Wicked people try to catch me in their traps, but I will not forget your Law.
