Psalms 119:51-61

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⌟.

53I am burning with anger because of wicked people, who abandon your teachings.

54Your laws have become like psalms to me in this place where I am only a foreigner.

55At night I remember your name, O Lord, and I follow your teachings.

56This has happened to me because I have obeyed your guiding principles.

57You are my inheritance, O Lord. I promised to hold on to your words.

58With all my heart I want to win your favor. Be kind to me as you promised.

59I have thought about my life, and I have directed my feet back to your written instructions.

60Without any hesitation I hurry to obey your commandments.

61⌞Though⌟ the ropes of wicked people are tied around me, I never forget your teachings.
