49 Remember the word unto Thy servant, upon which Thou hast caused me to hope.

50 This is my comfort in my affliction, for Thy word hath quickened me.

51 The proud have held me greatly in derision, yet have I not departed from Thy law.

52 I remembered Thy judgments of old, O Lord, and have comforted myself.

53 Horror hath taken hold upon me, because of the wicked that forsake Thy law.
