Psalms 119:57-64
(57) CHETH. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
(58) I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.
(59) I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
(60) I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
(61) The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
(62) At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
(63) I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
(64) The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
119:57–64. In this section the psalmist seems to take firm hold upon God himself; appropriating him (verse 57), crying out for him (verse 58), returning to him (verse 59), solacing himself in him (verses 61–62), associating with his people (verse 63), and sighing for personal experience of his goodness (verse 64). Note how the first verse of this octave is linked to the last of the former one, of which indeed it is an expanded repetition.
