Psalms 119:58

56 This is my practice, for I obey Your precepts.

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

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

59 I considered my ways and turned my steps to Your testimonies.

60 I hurried without hesitating to keep Your commandments.

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