preserve my life(J) according to your word.[b](K)

your salvation, according to your promise;(Q)

for ever and ever.

49 Remember your word(AC) to your servant,
for you have given me hope.(AD)
50 My comfort in my suffering is this:
Your promise preserves my life.(AE)
51 The arrogant mock me(AF) unmercifully,
but I do not turn(AG) from your law.
52 I remember,(AH) Lord, your ancient laws,
and I find comfort in them.
53 Indignation grips me(AI) because of the wicked,
who have forsaken your law.(AJ)
54 Your decrees are the theme of my song(AK)
wherever I lodge.
55 In the night, Lord, I remember(AL) your name,
that I may keep your law.(AM)
56 This has been my practice:
I obey your precepts.(AN)

57 You are my portion,(AO) Lord;
I have promised to obey your words.(AP)
58 I have sought(AQ) your face with all my heart;
be gracious to me(AR) according to your promise.(AS)
59 I have considered my ways(AT)
and have turned my steps to your statutes.
60 I will hasten and not delay
to obey your commands.(AU)
61 Though the wicked bind me with ropes,
I will not forget(AV) your law.
62 At midnight(AW) I rise to give you thanks
for your righteous laws.(AX)
63 I am a friend to all who fear you,(AY)
to all who follow your precepts.(AZ)
64 The earth is filled with your love,(BA) Lord;
teach me your decrees.(BB)
