57 The Lord is my portion.I promised to obey your words.
58 I sought your favour with my whole heart.Be merciful to me according to your word.
59 I considered my ways,and turned my steps to your statutes.
60 I will hurry, and not delay,to obey your commandments.
61 The ropes of the wicked bind me,but I won’t forget your Torah.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you,because of your righteous ordinances.
63 I am a friend of all those who fear you,of those who observe your precepts.
