58 I entreat you with all my heart:have mercy on me in accord with your promise.
59 I have examined my waysand turned my steps to your testimonies.
60 I am prompt, I do not hesitatein observing your commandments.
61 Though the snares of the wicked surround me,your law I do not forget.
62 At midnight I rise to praise youbecause of your righteous judgments.
63 I am the friend of all who fear you,of all who observe your precepts.
64 The earth, Lord, is filled with your mercy;teach me your statutes.
