Psalms 119:51-61

51Arrogant people do nothing but scoff at me. Yet I do not turn aside from your law.

52I remember your ancient regulations, O Lord, and console myself.

53Rage takes hold of me because of the wicked, those who reject your law.

54Your statutes have been my songs in the house where I live.

55I remember your name during the night, O Lord, and I will keep your law.

56This has been my practice, for I observe your precepts. ח (Khet)

57The Lord is my source of security. I have determined to follow your instructions.

58I seek your favor with all my heart. Have mercy on me as you promised!

59I consider my actions and follow your rules.

60I keep your commands eagerly and without delay.

61The ropes of the wicked tighten around me, but I do not forget your law.
