Psalms 119:50
48 I lift up my hands to Your commandments, which I love, and I meditate on Your statutes.
49 Remember Your word to Your servant, upon which You have given me hope.
This is my comfort in affliction, that Your promise has given me life.
51 The arrogant utterly deride me, but I do not turn from Your law.
52 I remember Your judgments of old, O LORD, and in them I find comfort.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
