"The ropes of the wicked tighten around me, but I do not forget your law."
— Psalms 119:61, NET Bible®
I seek your favor with all my heart. Have mercy on me as you promised!
I consider my actions and follow your rules.
I keep your commands eagerly and without delay.
The ropes of the wicked tighten around me, but I do not forget your law.
In the middle of the night I arise to thank you for your just regulations.
I am a friend to all your loyal followers, and to those who keep your precepts.
O LORD, your loyal love fills the earth. Teach me your statutes!
