Remember what you said to me your servant

Remember what you said to me your servant,
for you have given hope to me, O Lord;
this is my comfort throughout my affliction:
my life is kept in safety by your word.

2. The arrogant have mocked me without pity;
yet from your law I have not turned aside;
O Lord, your ancient laws I have remembered;
through them alone in comfort I abide.

3. The ways of wicked men make me indignant;
they from your holy law have gone astray;
the theme of all my praise has been your statutes;
I sing of them in every place I stay.

4. Throughout the night your name, Lord, I remember;
I’ll keep your law whatever comes my way;
throughout my life this has remained my practice;
the precepts you have given I obey.
