Psalm 118:154–169

154 Judge my judgment and redeem me: quicken thou me for thy word’s sake.

155 Salvation is far from sinners; because they have not sought thy justifications.

156 Many, O Lord, are thy mercies: quicken me according to thy judgment.

157 Many are they that persecute me and afflict me; but I have not declined from thy testimonies.

158 I beheld the transgressors, and pined away; because they kept not thy word.

159 Behold I have loved thy commandments, O Lord; quicken me thou in thy mercy.

160 The beginning of thy words is truth: all the judgments of thy justice are for ever.

161 Princes have persecuted me without cause: and my heart hath been in awe of thy words.

162 I will rejoice at thy words, as one that hath found great spoil.

163 I have hated and abhorred iniquity; but I have loved thy law.

164 Seven times a day I have given praise to thee, for the judgments of thy justice.

165 Much peace have they that love thy law, and to them there is no stumbling block.

166 I looked for thy salvation, O Lord: and I loved thy commandments.

167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies and hath loved them exceedingly.

168 I have kept thy commandments and thy testimonies: because all my ways are in thy sight.

169 Let my supplication, O Lord, come near in thy sight: give me understanding according to thy word.
