Psalms 119:51
49 Remember Your word to Your servant, upon which You have given me hope.
50 This is my comfort in affliction, that Your promise has given me life.
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.
53 Rage has taken hold of me because of the wicked who reject Your law.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
