56. This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
57. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
58. I entreated thy favor with my whole heart: be merciful to me according to thy word.
59. I thought on my ways, and turned my feet to thy testimonies.
60. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
61. The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
62. At midnight I will rise to give thanks to thee, because of thy righteous judgments.
