Psalms 119 — Context

I am burning with wrath, because of the sinners who have given up your law.

Your rules have been melodies to me, while I have been living in strange lands.

I have given thought to your name in the night, O Lord, and have kept your law.

This has been true of me, that I have kept your orders in my heart.

The Lord is my heritage: I have said that I would be ruled by your words.

I have given my mind to do your pleasure with all my heart; have mercy on me, as you have said.

I gave thought to my steps, and my feet were turned into the way of your unchanging word.
