Psalms 119:53

AngerSinObedience

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.

Rage has taken hold of me because of the wicked who reject Your law.

54 Your statutes are songs to me in the house of my pilgrimage.

55 In the night, O LORD, I remember Your name, that I may keep Your law.
