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.
