48 I lift my hands ⌊in prayer⌋ because of your commandments,which I love.I will reflect on your laws.
49 Remember the word ⌊you gave⌋ me.Through it you gave me hope.
50 This is my comfort in my misery:Your promise gave me a new life.
51 Arrogant people have mocked me with cruelty,yet I have not turned away from your teachings.
52 I remembered your regulations from long ago, O Lord,and I found comfort ⌊in them⌋.
53 I am burning with anger because of wicked people,who abandon your teachings.
54 Your laws have become like psalms to mein this place where I am only a foreigner.
