153
Consider mine affliction, and deliver me; For I do not forget thy law.
154
Plead thou my cause, and redeem me: Quicken me according to thy word.
155
Salvation is far from the wicked; For they seek not thy statutes.
156
Great are thy tender mercies, O Jehovah: Quicken me according to thine ordinances.
157
Many are my persecutors and mine adversaries; [Yet] have I not swerved from thy testimonies.
158
I beheld the treacherous, and was grieved, Because they observe not thy word.
159
Consider how I love thy precepts: Quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thy lovingkindness.
160
The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances [endureth] for ever.
161
Princes have persecuted me without a cause; But my heart standeth in awe of thy words.
162
I rejoice at thy word, As one that findeth great spoil.
163
I hate and abhor falsehood; [But] thy law do I love.
