Psalms 119:157-163

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.

161Powerful people harass me without cause, but my heart trembles only at your word.

162I rejoice in your word like one who discovers a great treasure.

163I hate and abhor all falsehood, but I love your instructions.
