HethPortio mea, Domine

57You only are my portion, O Lord; *
I have promised to keep your words.

58I entreat you with all my heart, *
be merciful to me according to your promise.

59I have considered my ways *
and turned my feet toward your decrees.

60I hasten and do not tarry *
to keep your commandments.

61Though the cords of the wicked entangle me, *
I do not forget your law.

62At midnight I will rise to give you thanks, *
because of your righteous judgments.

63I am a companion of all who fear you *
and of those who keep your commandments.

64The earth, O Lord, is full of your love; *
instruct me in your statutes.

TethBonitatem fecisti

65O Lord, you have dealt graciously with your servant, *
according to your word.

66Teach me discernment and knowledge, *
for I have believed in your commandments.

67Before I was afflicted I went astray, *
but now I keep your word.

68You are good and you bring forth good; *
instruct me in your statutes.

768Psalm 119:57, 65
