Psalms

Psalm 119:45–52

⁴⁵And I will walk in freedom,

for I have sought Your precepts.

⁴⁶I will speak of Your testimonies before kings,

and I will not be ashamed.

⁴⁷I delight in Your commandments

because I love them.

⁴⁸I lift up my hands to Your commandments, which I love,

and I meditate on Your statutes.

⁴⁹Remember Your word to Your servant,

upon which You have given me hope.

⁵⁰This is my comfort in affliction,

that Your promise has given me life.

⁵¹The arrogant utterly deride me,

but I do not turn from Your law.

⁵²I remember Your judgments of old, O LORD,

and in them I find comfort.
