48 I reach out for your commands, which I love,that I may meditate on your decrees.
49 Remember your word to your servant,for you have given me hope.
50 My comfort in my suffering is this:your promise preserves my life.
51 The arrogant mock me unmercifully,but I do not turn from your law.
52 I remember, Lord, your ancient laws,and I find comfort in them.
53 Indignation grips me because of the wicked,who have forsaken your law.
54 Your decrees are the theme of my songwherever I lodge.
