Psalm 119:153–160

Look on my affliction and deliver me,

for I do not forget your law.

Plead my cause and redeem me;

give me life according to your promise!

Salvation is far from the wicked,

for they do not seek your statutes.

Great is your mercy, O Lord;

give me life according to your rules.

Many are my persecutors and my adversaries,

but I do not swerve from your testimonies.

I look at the faithless with disgust,

because they do not keep your commands.

Consider how I love your precepts!

Give me life, O Lord, according to your steadfast love.

The sum of your word is truth,

and every one of your righteous rules endures forever.

Look on my suffering and deliver me,

for I have not forgotten your law.

Defend my cause and redeem me;

preserve my life according to your promise.

Salvation is far from the wicked,

for they do not seek out your decrees.

Your compassion, Lord, is great;

preserve my life according to your laws.

Many are the foes who persecute me,

but I have not turned from your statutes.

I look on the faithless with loathing,

for they do not obey your word.

See how I love your precepts;

preserve my life, Lord, in accordance with your love.

All your words are true;

all your righteous laws are eternal.

Consider my affliction and rescue me,

for I have not forgotten your instruction.

Champion my cause and redeem me;

give me life as you promised.

Salvation is far from the wicked

because they do not study your statutes.

Your compassions are many, Lord;

give me life according to your judgments.

My persecutors and foes are many.

I have not turned from your decrees.

I have seen the disloyal and feel disgust

because they do not keep your word.

Consider how I love your precepts;

Lord, give me life according to your faithful love.

The entirety of your word is truth,

each of your righteous judgments endures forever.

Look upon my suffering and rescue me,

for I have not forgotten your instructions.

Argue my case; take my side!

Protect my life as you promised.

The wicked are far from rescue,

for they do not bother with your decrees.

Lord, how great is your mercy;

let me be revived by following your regulations.

Many persecute and trouble me,

yet I have not swerved from your laws.

Seeing these traitors makes me sick at heart,

because they care nothing for your word.

See how I love your commandments, Lord.

Give back my life because of your unfailing love.

The very essence of your words is truth;

all your just regulations will stand forever.

See my misery and rescue me,

for I do not forget your law.

Plead my cause and redeem me;

preserve my life according to your word.

Salvation is far from the wicked,

for they do not seek your statutes.

Your mercies are great, O Yahweh;

preserve my life according to your ordinances.

My persecutors and enemies are many,

yet I do not turn aside from your testimonies.

I see the treacherous and I feel disgust,

because they do not heed your word.

Consider that I love your precepts;

O Yahweh, according to your loyal love preserve my life.

The whole of your word is truth,

and your every righteous judgment endures forever.

RESH.

Consider mine affliction, and deliver me:

For I do not forget thy law.

Plead my cause, and deliver me:

Quicken me according to thy word.

Salvation is far from the wicked:

For they seek not thy statutes.

Great are thy tender mercies, O Lord:

Quicken me according to thy judgments.

Many are my persecutors and mine enemies;

Yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.

I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved;

Because they kept not thy word.

Consider how I love thy precepts:

Quicken me, O Lord, according to thy lovingkindness.

Thy word is true from the beginning:

And every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
