56. This has happened to me because I sought your justifications.
57. HETH. O Lord, my portion, I have said that I would keep your law.
58. I have beseeched your face with my whole heart. Be merciful to me according to your word.
59. I have considered my ways, and I have turned my feet toward your testimonies.
60. I have been prepared, and I have not been disturbed, so that I may keep your commandments.
61. The ropes of the impious have encircled me, and I have not forgotten your law.
62. I arose in the middle of the night to confess to you, over the judgments of your justification.
63. I am a partaker with all those who fear you and who keep your commandments.
64. The earth, O Lord, is full of your mercy. Teach me your justifications.
