Psalms 119:56

Obedience God's word

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.

This is my practice, for I obey Your precepts.

⁵⁷ The LORD is my portion; I have promised to keep Your words.

⁵⁸ I have sought Your face with all my heart; be gracious to me according to Your promise.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
