Psalms 119:60
I hurried without hesitating to keep Your commandments.
BSB
ASV
I made haste, and delayed not, To observe thy commandments.
KJV
I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
HOMILY AGAINST THOSE PROVE TO ANGER (379)
Let each of these considerations find entrance into your mind and check the swollen growth of wrath. By such preparations and by acquiring such dispositions, we quiet the leaping and throbbing of the heart and restore it to tranquil steadiness. This, indeed, is the implication in the words of David: "I am ready and am not troubled." You must, therefore, repress the violent and frenzied movement of the soul by recalling the example of saintly people. How gently, for instance, the mighty David bore the fury of Shimei.
I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. As soon as he was sensible of his duty, he immediately complied with it; he consulted not with flesh and blood, but at once yielded a cheerful obedience to the commands of God. Instances of evangelical obedience of this kind we have in the three thousand converts, in Saul, and in the jailer and his house, Act 2:41.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

Ecclesiastes 9:10Whatever you find to do with your hands, do it with all your might, for in Sheol, where you are going, there is no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom.
leads to
Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men,
redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
For there is no mention of You in death; who can praise You from Sheol?
Sow your seed in the morning, and do not rest your hands in the evening, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or if both will equally prosper.

Proverbs 27:1Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.
leads to
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business, and make a profit.”
Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’
For He says: “In the time of favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the time of favor; now is the day of salvation!
