Psalms 119:153-160

153Look upon my suffering and rescue me, for I have not forgotten your instructions.

154Argue my case; take my side! Protect my life as you promised.

155The wicked are far from rescue, for they do not bother with your decrees.

156Lord, how great is your mercy; let me be revived by following your regulations.

157Many persecute and trouble me, yet I have not swerved from your laws.

158Seeing these traitors makes me sick at heart, because they care nothing for your word.

159See how I love your commandments, Lord. Give back my life because of your unfailing love.

160The very essence of your words is truth; all your just regulations will stand forever.
