Listen to me because of your love; Lord, give me life by your laws.
150
Those who love evil are near, but they are far from your teachings.
151
But, Lord, you are also near, and all your commands are true.
152
Long ago I learned from your rules that you made them to continue forever.
153
See my suffering and rescue me, because I have not forgotten your teachings.
154
Argue my case and save me. Let me live by your promises.
155
Wicked people are far from being saved, because they do not want your demands.
156
Lord, you are very kind; give me life by your laws.
157
Many enemies are after me, but I have not rejected your rules.
158
I see those traitors, and I hate them, because they do not obey what you say.
159
See how I love your orders. Lord, give me life by your love.
