Psalm 119:49 - 56

49 The promise keep in mind which you did to your servant make,
     the word which as a ground of hope you have caused me to take.

50 By this in time of my distress great comfort I have known:
     for in my straits I am revived by this your word alone.

51 The men whose hearts with pride are filled did greatly me deride;
     yet from your good and holy law I have not turned aside.

52 Your righteous judgments which you did make known of old, O LORD,
     I have remembered, and to me they comfort did afford.

53 Great wrath took hold of me because ill men your law forsake.
54 I in my house of pilgrimage your laws my songs do make.

55 Your name by night, LORD, I recalled, and I have kept your law.
56 And this I had because that I your precepts kept with awe.
Tune:  any C M
