156 Greatq are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.

157 Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.

159 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.

160 Thy wordr is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
