Psalm 119:154–169

154  Plead 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  Many are thy tender mercies, O Jehovah; quicken me according to thy judgments.

157  Many are my persecutors and mine oppressors; I have not declined from thy testimonies.

158  I beheld them that deal treacherously, and was grieved; because they kept not thy •word.

159  See how I have loved thy precepts: quicken me, O Jehovah, according to thy loving-kindness.

160  The sum of thy word is truth, and every righteous judgment of thine is for ever.

161  SHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

162  I have joy in thy •word, as one that findeth great spoil.

163  I hate and abhor falsehood; thy law do I love.

164  Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.

165  Great peace have they that love thy law, and nothing doth stumble them.

166  I have hoped for thy salvation, O Jehovah, and have done thy commandments.

167  My soul hath kept thy testimonies, and I love them exceedingly. 168  I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies; for all my ways are before thee.

169  TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, Jehovah: give me understanding according to thy word.
