Psalm 119:157–167

157  Many are my persecutors and mine enemies;

Yet do I not mdecline from thy testimonies.

158  I beheld the ntransgressors, and owas grieved;

pBecause they kept not thy word.

159  Consider how I qlove thy precepts:

iQuicken me, O Lord, according to thy lovingkindness.

160  †Thy word is strue from the beginning:

And every one of tthy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

SCHIN.

161  uPrinces have persecuted me vwithout a cause:

But my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

162  I wrejoice at thy word,

xAs one that findeth great spoil.

163  I hate and abhor lying:

But ythy law do I love.

164  yySeven times a day do I praise thee

Because of tthy righteous judgments.

165  zGreat peace have they which ylove thy law:

And †nothing shall offend them.

166  Lord, aI have hoped for thy salvation,

And done thy commandments.

167  My soul hath kept thy testimonies;

And bI love them exceedingly.
