44I shall continue to keep your law; *
I shall keep it for ever and ever.

45I will walk at liberty, *
because I study your commandments.

46I will tell of your decrees before kings *
and will not be ashamed.

47I delight in your commandments, *
which I have always loved.

48I will lift up my hands to your commandments, *
and I will meditate on your statutes.

ZayinMemor esto verbi tui

49Remember your word to your servant, *
because you have given me hope.

50This is my comfort in my trouble, *
that your promise gives me life.

51The proud have derided me cruelly, *
but I have not turned from your law.

52When I remember your judgments of old, *
O Lord, I take great comfort.

53I am filled with a burning rage, *
because of the wicked who forsake your law.

54Your statutes have been like songs to me *
wherever I have lived as a stranger.

55I remember your Name in the night, O Lord, *
and dwell upon your law.

56This is how it has been with me, *
because I have kept your commandments.

Psalm 119:49767
