The Lord is my portion; I promise to
keep your words.
I implore your
favor with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise.
When I think of
your ways, I turn my feet to your decrees;
I hurry and do not
delay to keep your commandments.
Though the cords
of the wicked ensnare me, I do not forget your law.
At midnight I rise
to praise you, because of your righteous ordinances.
I am a companion
of all who fear you, of those who keep your precepts.
The earth, O Lord, is full of your steadfast love;
teach me your statutes.
