45. And I will walk at liberty, for I have sought thy precepts;
46. And I will speak of thy testimonies before kings, and will not be ashamed;
47. And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved;
48. And I will lift up my hands unto thy commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes.ZAIN.
49. Remember the word for thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
50. This is my comfort in mine affliction; for thy word hath quickened me.
