O remember your word to your servant, *

in which you have caused me to put my trust.

This is my comfort in my trouble, *

for your word has given me life.

The proud have held me exceedingly in derision, *

yet I have not turned aside from your law.

For I have remembered, O Lord, your judgments from of old, *

and by them I have received comfort.

I am filled with indignation, *

because of the ungodly who forsake your law.

Your statutes have been my songs *

in the house of my pilgrimage.

I have thought upon your Name, O Lord, in the night-season, *

and I have kept your law.

This has been my reward *

because I have kept your commandments.

You are my portion, O Lord; *

I have promised to keep your law.

I made my humble petition in your presence with my whole heart; *

O be merciful to me, according to your word.

I have called my ways to remembrance *

and turned my feet to your testimonies.

I made haste and did not delay *

to keep your commandments.

The cords of the ungodly have encircled me, *

but I have not forgotten your law.

At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you, *

because of your righteous judgments.

I am a companion of all those who fear you *

and keep your commandments.

The earth, O Lord, is full of your mercy; *

O teach me your statutes.

O Lord, you have dealt graciously with your servant, *

according to your word.

O teach me true understanding and knowledge, *

for I have believed your commandments.

Before I was afflicted I went astray, *

but now I keep your word.

You are good and gracious; *

O teach me your statutes.

The proud have slandered me with lies, *

but I will keep your commandments with my whole heart.

Their heart has become gross with fatness, *

but my delight is in your law.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, *

that I may learn your statutes.

The law of your mouth is dearer to me *

than thousands in gold and silver.
