Psalms 119:157-167

157 1Many are my persecutors and my adversaries, but I do not 2swerve from your testimonies.
158 I look at 3the faithless with 4disgust, because they do not keep your commands.
159 Consider how I 5love your precepts! 6Give me life according to your steadfast love.
160 7The sum of your word is 8truth, and every one of your 9righteous rules endures forever.
161 10Princes persecute me 11without cause, but my heart 12stands in awe of your words.
162 I 13rejoice at your word like one who 14finds great spoil.
163 I hate and abhor falsehood, but I love 15your law.
164 Seven times a day I praise you for your 16righteous rules.
165 Great 17peace have those who love your law; 18nothing can make them stumble.
166 I 19hope for your salvation, O LORD, and I do your commandments.
167 My soul keeps your testimonies; I 20love them exceedingly.
