Verses 49–56 of Psalm 119

The words

Remember what you said to me your servant, for you have given hope to me, O LORD. This is my comfort throughout my affliction: my life is kept in safety by your word.

The arrogant have mocked me without pity; yet from your law I have not turned aside. O LORD, your ancient laws I have remembered; through them alone in comfort I abide.

The wicked fill my heart with indignation; they from your holy law have gone astray. The theme of all my praise has been your statutes; I sing of them in every place I stay.

Throughout the night your name, LORD, I remember; I’ll keep your law whatever comes my way. Throughout my life this has remained my practice; the precepts you have given I obey.

How is this list ordered?

Curated pairings come first — a tune a curator recorded against this text, with the fitness they recorded. A tune that merely shares the meter is listed as a tune in the same meter and never as a pairing.

Nothing here is ranked by popularity or use. The page reports what a curator recorded, not a verdict of its own.
