Psalms 119:45-52

45I will walk around freely because I sought out your guiding principles.

46I will speak about your written instructions in the presence of kings and not feel ashamed.

47Your commandments, which I love, make me happy.

48I lift my hands ⌞in prayer⌟ because of your commandments, which I love. I will reflect on your laws.

49Remember the word ⌞you gave⌟ me. Through it you gave me hope.

50This is my comfort in my misery: Your promise gave me a new life.

51Arrogant people have mocked me with cruelty, yet I have not turned away from your teachings.

52I remembered your regulations from long ago, O Lord, and I found comfort ⌞in them⌟.
