61  Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me,

I do not forget your law.

62  At midnight I rise to praise you,

because of your righteous rules.

63  I am a ^kcompanion of all who fear you,

of those who keep your precepts.

64  ^lThe earth, O Lord, is full of your steadfast love;

teach me your statutes!

65  You have dealt well with your servant,

O Lord, according to your word.

66  Teach me good judgment and knowledge,

for I believe in your commandments.

67  Before I was ^mafflicted I went astray,

but now I ⁿkeep your word.

68  You are good and do good;

teach me your statutes.
