50. This word of thine my comfort isin mine affliction:For in my straits I am reviv'dby this thy word alone.
51. The men whose hearts with pride are stuff'ddid greatly me deride;Yet from thy straight commandementsI have not turn'd aside.
52. Thy judgments righteous, O Lord,which thou of old forth gave,I did remember, and myselfby them comforted have.
53. Horror took hold on me, becauseill men thy law forsake.
54. I in my house of pilgrimagethy laws my songs do make.
55. Thy name by night, Lord, I did mind,and I have kept thy law.
56. And this I had, because thy wordI kept, and stood in awe.
57. Thou my sure portion art alone,which I did chuse, O Lord:I have resolv'd, and said, that Iwould keep thy holy word.
58. With my whole heart I did entreatthy face and favour free:According to thy gracious wordbe merciful to me.
