57The LORD is my portion; I said that I would keep your word.58I begged your face with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your word.59I considered my ways and turned my foot back to your testimonies.60I hastened and did not delay to keep your commandments.61The cords of the wicked upheld me; I did not forget your instruction.62At midnight I rise to give thanks to you for the justices of your righteousness.63I am a companion to all who fear you and to those who keep your precepts.64Your kindness, O LORD, has filled the earth; teach me your statutes.
