Psalms 119:157-163

157I have many persecutors and opponents, ⌞yet⌟ I have not turned away from your written instructions.

158I have seen traitors, and I am filled with disgust. They have not accepted your promise.

159See how I have loved your guiding principles! O Lord, in keeping with your mercy, give me a new life.

160There is nothing but truth in your word, and all of your righteous regulations endure forever.

161Influential people have persecuted me for no reason, but it is only your words that fill my heart with terror.

162I find joy in your promise like someone who finds a priceless treasure.

163I hate lying; I am disgusted with it. I love your teachings.
