Psalms 119:59
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.
I considered my ways and turned my steps to Your testimonies.
60 I hurried without hesitating to keep Your commandments.
61 Though the ropes of the wicked bind me, I do not forget Your law.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
